| Thank you for your interest in the 5th Annual Living with Lupus 5K Run & Walk. The event takes place on Sunday, September 23, 2007 at the Wilmington Riverfront Overlook Pavilion.
Registration opens at 7:30 am and the event begins at 8:30. We hope you will support our efforts with your participation or your pledge!
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and tissue damage to virtually any organ system in the body. It strikes mostly women of childbearing age, although women of all ages, as well as men and children, develop lupus. Lupus is a life-threatening, life-diminishing disease. There are major gaps that exist in our understanding of the causes and consequences of lupus. To address these gaps, it is essential that we continue to call upon individuals, corporations, foundations and federal, state and local governments to greatly expand their efforts so that the 1.5 million Americans with lupus may have hope that the disease will be brought under control and a cure will be found.
Thank you for being a part of this effort. |
