Thank you so much to all of you who threw out a donation HOOZAH!

And it is not too late for a last minute HOOZAH for anyone who was still thinking of donating.

If you are not into the internet donation thing, that's cool.
Keep an eye open to your local community events. The Lupus Walk happens throughout the country.

The funding from these activities helps pay for the incredible educational and support programs offered by the Lupus Foundation of America:

For many of us with lupus (and those waiting for a confirmed diagnosis) the LFA is the first stop in learning how to cope.

#161 - A Special Request

My Neice, Christine, is going on her third year of volunteering to raise funds for lupus education and support via the Lupus Foundation of America.

Here is her statement:

Three years ago, I learned about Walk on the Wild Side for Lupus. I feel privileged to be able to help others by participating in this event, and I am grateful for all of the people who have sponsored me in the past. If you're reading this now, then I hope to be able to add you to the list of individuals who have offered their support.

Chances are you're familiar with lupus in some way; maybe you yourself are afflicted. I walk for those who cannot, for those people whose energy has been robbed by this disease, but above all, I walk with the hope that a cure can be found. Your donation will help fund research, education, and support for those affected by lupus. Thank you so very much!

Isn't she a cutie?

(I just love to be the doting auntie.)

Anyway... if every subscriber to Life Beyond Lupus donated $5.00, well... that would go well beyond her goal... and we would all be able to jump up and down and say "Hoozah!" we did a good job!!

Just a thought...

HOOZAH! everybody!
