Huge thanks for Lupus Walk for Hope and 5K Run support
A record-breaking 1,400 participants gathered in Plymouth and Rochester on September 14 and September 28 respectively to help raise funds and awareness for lupus at the annual Lupus Walk for Hope and 5K Run events. To-date the Twin Cities walk alone raised over $65,000. With the event in Rochester this past weekend, and Duluth's event still on the horizon, slated for this Saturday, October 5, we are looking towards a banner year in the fight against lupus!
  
"Many smiling faces, lots of camaraderie, positive energy flowed, and everyone donned purple for lupus awareness," said 2013 Lupus Ambassador Chris Cronic, pictured above with her team. "A huge thank you goes out to everyone who participated. I was amazed at the love and support I have felt. It's definitely an experience I will never forget."
  
We are amazed too ... the generosity and support you, our sponsors and contributors have provided this year is absolutely astonishing.
