A large gathering o f supporters gathered a t Oaks Park in southeast Portland Saturday for Portland's third annual ‘ Walk to End Lupus.’
Community Support to End Lupus
Supporters came out in full force
Saturday for Portland’s third annual
“Walk to End Lupus.” The fundraiser
for the 36-year-old Lupus Founda­
tion is aimed at increased education,
research, and advocacy to combat
the devastating disease.
The ailment which attacks the
immune system can often leave
people, mostly women susceptible
to a host o f other diseases which
too often lead to death. There is
currently no known cure for lupus.
Meies Matz a longtime-advocate
for the foundation showed up with
a 45-person team under the banner
“The Strength of Us” in honor of
Alexandria Martin, a 21-year-old
Portland woman who succumbed to
lupus a couple of weeks back.
Matz says A frican-A m erican
women are three to four percent
more likely to develop the mysteri­
ous disease than their Caucasian
counterparts.
“For some reason African-Ameri­
can women are more likely to die
from this and we don’t know why,
that is why this is important.”
Additional information about The
Lupus Foundation and ways do­
nate can be found on their website
lupus.org.
