THANK YOU SO MUCH!

 

Our first, city-wide Walk was a fabulous success with over 120 teams of lupus patients, friends and families from across the state and the nation.  For many, this was a moving experience and the first time to be part of a large, passionate and dedicated crowd committed to raising funds and awareness for the 55,000 Georgians with lupus. The walk was an, exciting,  encouraging and memorable event which we hope will be even larger next year!

 

ALL walkers and teams CAN and WILL continue to collect donations BOTH online AND in person AFTER THE WALK!!  It is never too late, many who participated were so inspired and will continue to reach out and receive donations from friends and families for the next few weeks. All online Firstgiving pages will still be active and able to receive online donations or any donations can be mailed to the chapter office.   Click here to donate.
