Lupus walk this Sunday. Donations are greatly appreciated.

Dear Friends,

I have a close friend, Michelle Zale, who currently battles the autoimmune disease lupus. It is chronic, life-threatening, and can be disabling. Michelle is one of the strongest people I know, and despite the many ups and downs she has experienced living with the disease she has remained optimistic, and continues to work tirelessly to take care of her family and work.

On June 13th I will be walking in the Walk for Lupus Now in Michelle Zale’s honor to raise funds for the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA). The LFA is the only national organization that provides direct services to people with lupus. In addition, they fund important research that will one day lead to a cure for lupus. This is now more important than ever, since it’s been 50 years since a new drug was approved by the FDA to specifically treat lupus.

Please help me reach my goal to raise $1000! I know this is short notice but every contribution is greatly appreciated and every dollar raised will help thousands of people with lupus in the Denver area and beyond. You can donate to my efforts online with a credit card on a secure website by going to ( http://donate.lupus.org/site/TR/Walk/Ge ... fr_id=1300 ) and immediately after making your gift you will receive an email with tax receipt information. You can also write a check payable to the LFA

Sincerely,


Steve
Making a difference starts with one step!

I know and I am trying to figure out how to change it. And my donation went to her team before I joined and decided to do the walk.

I am heading down the hill to do this walk in the rain this morning. For everyone who donated to this cause, Thank you so much! I have seen directly how this disease affects my friend. You can still click on the link above and give a gift to this cause. Thanks again!
