This year, as in the past few years, I will be walking for my friend Christine who has been suffering with Lupus for the past 15 years. Please help us raise money so that they might be able to find a cure for this disease.

What is Lupus? Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that is hard to diagnose, difficult to manage and if not treated, can become life threatening. It disrupts the immune system’s ability to protect the body against viruses, bacteria and foreign substances. Lupus’ short circuiting of the immune system’s identification process causes it to create antibodies against its own cells and tissues. There is no cure for lupus; it affects both sexes and can strike at any age. Lupus affects adult women 10 times more frequently than men and is more prevalent than sickle cell anemia, cerebral palsy and cystic fibrosis, yet it is the least known of all major illnesses.

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