Start Your Steps to End Lupus Now During Lupus Awareness Month!
During May, the world turns purple to honor the 5 million people living with lupus. This is your invitation to be a part of the steps to end lupus now. In 2025, we can make ending lupus more of a reality. Each walk is a powerful act: a hand extended to a warrior, a tribute to a cherished memory of someone we lost, a celebration of your hard work to raise critical funds and the impact we make together. Your steps are not just physical; they are the steps that change lives, fund breakthroughs, and build a community of unwavering support.
Take your first step today—register for a walk near you and be part of something transformative. Don’t miss out on the largest event to bring lupus warriors and their families together as thousands across our region will come together on walk day!
It takes a team to beat lupus! LAM is the perfect time to get your family and friends involved by encouraging them to join your team and kickstart your fundraising to meet your team goal. P.S. A decked out team tent in Walk Village will be a perfect way to celebrate 2025!
Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with lupus for years, your journey can provide hope, strength, and connection to others facing similar challenges. Please reach out to Aly Goforthgoforth@lupus.org to share your lupus story.
Your company can play a crucial role in our steps to end lupus by becoming an event sponsor, fostering team spirit with a corporate team, maximizing donations with matching gifts, hosting fundraising events, or educating your co-workers through lunch and learns.
Join us this May for Lupus Awareness Month as we launch POP for a Purpose! We're rallying our community to raise awareness and funds to support those affected by lupus. Grab your best purple attire and start Planning Your POP!! Don’t worry, we have lots of fun ideas to get you started.
