Lupus Launch Party 2012

I had the honor of attending the Walk for Lupus Now Kickoff Party for the North Texas Region. It's amazing seeing this wonderful group of women gathering to celebrate life and their fight with Lupus. Check out their site for more information on LUPUS. http://www.lupus.org/newsite/pages/Walk-for-Lupus-Now.htm The walk itself Saturday, March 31, 2012 in Grand Prairie, which I will have the honor once again to take pictures of this extraordinary event and meet some more wonderful people, and maybe make a new friend or two.

Here is some information from their page:
Walk for Lupus Now® is the signature event of the Lupus Foundation of America, Inc. In more than 70 cities and towns across America thousands of people walk to make a difference in the lives of those affected by lupus and raise essential funds for education, support services, programs and research.

Join us in giving hope to those affected by lupus!
It is estimated that 1.5 million Americans, and 119,000 Texans have a form of lupus. Lupus is a chronic and potentially life-threatening autoimmune disease that can be devastating for people with lupus. No cure or satisfactory treatment exists...For the first time in 52 years, a specific drug for lupus was approved by the FDA in March 2011. There is hope, and with your help we can find a cure for lupus.
