The largest lupus walk program in the country, Walk to End Lupus Now events are held in more than 60 cities, bringing together community members — people with lupus, friends, families, health care providers and celebrities — to raise money for lupus research and education programs, increase awareness of the disease and rally public support for those who feel its brutal impact.
“I walk for my God daughter, Evette. I’m humbled and honored to be named Honorary Chair of Walk to End Lupus Now in Boston,” said Juan Lopez, Boston City Council central staff and host of Politica Entre Amigos on WCEA – TV. “We need to bring greater attention and awareness to this under-recognized disease to the community of Boston.”
