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.
