A Letter from the President I hope this email finds you well and safe. It's hard to believe next week is Halloween. We hope you have a fun (and spookey!) holiday. The end of the year is fast approaching - and LSI has some great events coming up and planning for 2023 is underway! Congratulations to all the Lupus Charity Runners who participated in the
2022 Bank of America Chicago Marathon! If you ever want to feel inspired, spend time at the LSI's Cheer Tent on race day. We're honored by our runners who raise awareness and funds for lupus. If you've ever wanted to run a marathon, look into Lupus Charity Runners. We have guaranteed spots for the 2023 Chicago Marathon. We have a great program. Find out more here. This Saturday, LSI is proud to partner with Kathleen & David Arntsen from the Lupus & Allied Diseases Association on the Enhancing Lives by Empowering the Lupus Community Chicago Education Symposium & Luncheon. This event will feature presentations from LSI's Board Chair, Dr. Robert Katz, as well as presentations from Kathleen Arntsen "The Power of Advocacy: Promoting Participation to Improve Care and Advance Research" and David Arntsen "Care Partner Perspectives: I Love Someone with Lupus."
