Join the Lupus Foundation of America and thousands of walkers in nearly 60 cities across the nation to raise money for lupus research, increase awareness of lupus, and rally public support for the estimated 1.5 million Americans who suffer from its brutal impact. Walk to End Lupus Now™ events provide all people affected by lupus the opportunity to come together for one unified purpose- to end lupus.
Walk to End Lupus Now New York City is a non-competitive walk to raise money for lupus research, increase awareness of lupus, and rally public support for those who suffer from the brutal impacts of this cruel and mysterious disease.
The Walk will take place on Saturday, May 2nd, 2015 at the South Street Sea Port. We expect 3,000 walkers to participate in this fun family-friendly day, filled with camaraderie, lupus awareness and education, music, prizes, and other festivities.
Walk Day volunteers are the MVP's of the event. You can make an impact rom 6:30 am until 12:00 pm helping register walkers, pass out t shirts and refreshments and direct walkers along the route. Each volunteer receives breakfast, a t-shirt and a ton of appreciation for making our walkers feel thanked and appreciated.
