As some of you know, I participated in the 25th Los Angeles Marathon as a charity walker. If you follow me on Facebook, you know I only made it to mile 10. (Darn those hills!)
But my goal wasn't really to walk 26.2 miles through LA, it was to raise $500 for the Patient Services programs at Lupus LA. I raised $300 before the race and have this week to raise the rest.
Will you help me reach this goal?
Any amount will help. Please go to www.firstgiving.com/StefanieLMT and donate what you can. Your donation will provide peer mentoring/counseling for newly diagnosed patients, pediatric services for Lupus patients and their families, and emergency loans to patients who find themselves unable
to work because of a "flare" (a "flare" is when Lupus symptoms go into
overdrive and can be debillitating, even lethal).
I chose to walk for http://www.lupusla.org/ in honor of two friends with
Lupus and in memory of our friend Tara.
Thank you for your help.
