We are proud to say we are now LUPINATORS...
As you may or may not know, our Tita Christina, currently battles the autoimmune disease lupus. It is chronic, life-threatening, and can be disabling. The disease has caused our Tita excruciating pain from the flare ups of lupus, and has now also begun affecting her organs and everything else in her daily living. We are sad to hear that she is sick and want to help.
On Sept. 25th, our family will be walking with my Tita (Tita means Aunt) Tina. along with the rest of our "Lupinators" friends and family, in the Walk for Lupus Now in her honor to raise funds for the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA). No matter what, we'll always walk together because we are family.

For those unfamiliar with Lupus: It is estimated that 1.5 million Americans have a form of lupus, an acute and chronic (lifelong) autoimmune disease in which the immune system is unbalanced, causing inflammation and tissue damage to virtually every organ system in the body. November 2008 marked 50 years since a drug has been approved for the treatment of lupus.
There is hope on the horizon, and with your help we can find better treatments and a cure.
Making a difference starts with one step. Thank you for taking this step!
