Come join the LFNC—Lupus Support Group and participate in the Alliance for Lupus Research (ALR) Walk with Us to Cure Lupus on November 1st, 2008! Our new team name is the Fog City Butterflies!! This is will be the 3rd Annual ALR Walk for San Francisco. Take a look at the fun we had in previous walks (see below). We'd like you to join us this year! Sign up with our team! >>

The nationwide Walkathon program is designed to raise both dollars and awareness for the fight against lupus, and 100% of the proceeds from the Walk will be used by the ALR to support research relating to lupus. The Alliance for Lupus Research, a national voluntary health organization, makes it their mission to support research into the cure, treatment, and prevention of SLE and its complications. Visit www.lupusresearch.org.

The Walkathon is volunteer-based with heavy reliance on networking with families touched by lupus.

How Can You Help?

• Sign up with our team or if you’d like, create a team of your own and help fundraise! You can even sign up as a virtual walker! In 2006, we raised a little over $7,000!

• Help us spread awareness by hanging up flyers (example on right) around town—give stacks to your doctors, acupuncturists, and other health care practitioners
