Each year, thousands of people across the country join forces with the Lupus Foundation of America and walk with one unified purpose – to end lupus. In 2012, the Lupus Foundation of America, Illinois Chapter (LFAI) hosted five walks that brought together more than 4,000 participants and raised $350,000! Funds raised from the walks are critical to achieving our mission in Illinois and keeping all of the foundation’s programs and services free to those who need them most. Thanks to the dedicated walkers, donors, sponsors, and volunteers, those in need of support, education, and financial assistance have a place to turn. THANK YOU!
