Thank you for visiting my Lupus Foundation fundraising page!  First and foremost, please do NOT feel obligated to donate...just sending us good wishes that day is a big help. 

But if the spirit moves you (and gas prices continue to drop), donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

If you would like to walk, run, or skate with me that day, you can do that too. The more the merrier.  My mom always did like having a big crowd around for a party :-)

The date is October 18th on the North Shore (near Heinz Field).

Have any questions?  Give me a call at 412-260-5857 and hope to see you there!

As always, I have the greatest family/friends in the world and I appreciate each and every one of you!

Love,
Melissa
