Walk to End Lupus Now on Sunday, Nov. 1st!

The Lupus Foundation of America, Connecticut Chapter, Inc. will be hosting their annual Fairfield County Walk to End Lupus Now event on Sunday, November 1st at the Westfield Mall in Trumbull, CT. Registration for the event begins at 8 a.m. and the walk begins at 9 a.m.

The Walk to End Lupus Now is Connecticut’s largest lupus awareness event, which also includes annual walks in West Hartford and West Haven, CT. “Lupus affects an estimated 17,000 people in Connecticut alone, but many people do not understand what lupus is or what it does, so it is crucial to increase awareness through events like our Walk to End Lupus Now,” says Corrianne Gagliardi, Director of Development & Communications.

“We have been trying to increase our presence in Fairfield County, and events like this will hopefully do so. The walk will include fun for the whole family, make sure to come out and join us!” Gagliardi adds.

Walkers can take the trip through the 1 mile long walk around the mall to show their support in raising the awareness of lupus. To register for the event, please visit http://lupusct.donordrive.com/event/fairfieldcounty/. For more information, please visit lupusct.org.
