My Story…
Hi Family and Friends, My sister Jenn, Victoria, and I are 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 a chronic (lifelong) 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 and grateful for the awesome hospitals and doctors in Boston as well as to the research for the medications to allow for Joseph to live his best life. Joseph is 23, and will graduate from the police academy on July 26th. He will be working as a police officer in the town of Wellesley, MA. I would be grateful if you would consider a small donation to help support the Lupus Foundation of New England which allow for more research and eventually to find a cure for lupus.
Description
The mission of the Lupus Foundation is to educate and support people with lupus, promote awareness and fund scientific research that will lead to better treatments and ultimately a cure.
