Walk for Lupus Now

As the nation’s premier walking event for lupus, the Lupus Foundation of America’s Walk for Lupus Now™ promotes physical activity and healthy living in a family-friendly setting. This year, thousands of walkers will participate in more than 30 chapter events across the country. They will be walking to raise funds to save lives from lupus, an autoimmune disease which affects more than 1.5 million Americans.

Many Walk for Lupus Now participants have lupus, or are family, friends or caregivers to someone who has lupus. People often walk "in honor" of a friend or family member who has lupus or "in memory" of someone who lost his/her battle with lupus. They are joined by thousands of caring people who walk as individuals or as part of a team to raise funds to bring an end to this life-diminishing and life-threatening disease.

Funds raised from Walk for Lupus Now Walks will support lupus research, education programs, and patient and family support services. You will be helping people with lupus in your community who need your help.
