2017 Walk To End Lupus

2017 Walk to End LUPUS Now

I’m Walking to End the Cruel and Mysterious Disease called LUPUS - PLEASE Join Me?

For the second year in a row, I am participating in this VITAL event to raise money for the disease that has changed and reshaped my life. For those of you that don't know, this disease caused me to have 5 miscarriages. LUPUS is so hard to diagnose, we didn't figure out the losses were due to LUPUS until after I had the 5th one. HOWEVER, now I have my Miracle Maggie who is 8 yrs old (pictured with me). Until all the losses, we didn't realize what a medical miracle my first son John was! Last March, due to Lupus, I was forced to quit my job as Nurse Tech at a local hospital that I loved SO much. Taking care of others in a hospital setting was my passion. I miss it, and all my former coworkers, EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Please consider supporting me in my effort to raise money not only to learn more about the mystery disease that is Lupus, but to also find a cure. If I reach my goal of $1000 this year, I will dye my whole head of hair PURPLE for the month of May, which is Lupus Awareness month! Donating is easy, just click on the title of this post.

Also, please watch for custom handmade LUPUS themed quilted/sewn items I will be selling on www.etsy.com/shop/CassysQuilts - the proceeds from these items will be donated straight to this event. Finally, if you'd like to join my team, Cassy's Crusaders, and help raise money and awareness for the awful and mysterious disease Lupus, registration for the walk is free and I would LOVE to have a group walking with me along Chicago's beautiful skyline on June 11, 2017!

Thank you so much for everyone's kind words and support. I can't even describe how much it means to me.
