Walk for Lupus Now New Mexico!

April 19th 2008

 

Albuquerque Walk a Huge Success:

The Albuquerque walk was a great success thanks to the support of the community and those living with lupus who donated and participated in this year's event. 

This year's walk was held at Cottonwood Mall.  Enjoy some of the pictures from the event.

We are looking forward to next year as the event will grow and we can continue forward serving people in New Mexico Living with Lupus and raising awareness in the community.

Las Cruces Walk a Huge Success:

The Las Cruces Walk was a huge success and continues LFANM's commitment to serving the entire State of New Mexico.  We would like to thank Jerry Silva and Laureen Silva for their dedication and hard work to make this event happen.  

We would like to make special recognition of this walk in memory of Lisa Silva who passed away from Lupus in 2005.  

The Las Cruces Walk will be an annual event so please check back again for more details on next year's walk!

About 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.

Get your friends and family to walk and raise funds for Walk for Lupus Now here in New Mexico!  Together, we can find a cure. 

Put together your own team for fundraising.  Each team can have its own fundraising link that they can send to friends, family, coworkers or whoever.  Help us to make a difference for those living with Lupus in New Mexico!
