Typically at this time of year we are working closely with our Lupus Charity Runner Bank of America Chicago Marathon team. We've had teams in the race since 2007! We were still recruiting runners when we started social distancing in March. Several weeks ago, the race was cancelled. We'll miss meeting and cheering on our runners this year and we thank everyone who was planning to run for LSI. Thanks to COVID-19, the Chicago Marathon is VIRTUAL this year! Anyone registered for the event can run a virtual marathon - and this year they have other distances (starting at 1 mile) that are free as well. See the information below or contact mary@lupusil.org for more. |

the 2020 Virtual Lupus Walk was a great success! Funds are still coming in and contests are still going on through the end of September. We have awesome incentive prizes. If you weren't able to watch the Facebook Live Grand Finale on September 5th - you can watch the entire program here. We talked to many of our dedicated walkers prior to the finale. you can see some of their stories below and you can also visit our YouTube page for more here. We are so grateful for the support we have received from the lupus community during these challenging times. Every dollar counts! Your funds go directly to our resources and services. Together we make a difference. Mary Dollear |
