My Story…
Hi Family and Friends, I am running in the Falmouth Road Race in August to raise money and awareness around lupus. In December of 2013 our son Joseph was diagnosed with Lupus. Lupus is an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune means that your immune system - the body's system that usually fights infections - attacks healthy tissue instead. Joseph has had 2 major lupus flares. The 2nd was in March of 2018 where he encountered 7 mini strokes. We are so fortunate for the awesome hospitals and doctors in Boston as well as to the research for the medications to allow Joseph to live a "normal" life. Joseph is now 22 and graduated in May from the University of New Hampshire majoring in Homeland Security and Justice Studies. He is living his best life! We would be grateful if you would consider a small donation to help support more research and eventually cure lupus!
