Lupus Research Alliance Hosts Walk with Us Event in New York City and Globally on October 24
The Lupus Research Alliance (LRA) is hosting its annual 'Walk with Us to Cure Lupus' event on Saturday, October 24. The in-person walk will take place at the Intrepid Museum in New York City, while a Global Walk livestream via Instagram allows international participation. Over $46 million has been raised for lupus research through these events over two decades. This year's event features entertainment, refreshments, and guest speakers including emcee Adrienne Nicole and ambassador Qiana Alexander, who was diagnosed with lupus at 31. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that disproportionately affects women and people of color. The LRA aims to advance research toward finding a cure by uniting patients, families, researchers, and supporters. Genentech serves as the National Walks Sponsor for this year's event, with additional support from Hospital for Special Surgery, NFL Foundation, Beeline Medicines, Northwell Health, NYU Langone Health, EMD Serono, WCBS-TV, and iHeartMedia. The LRA emphasizes that these events are vital to funding breakthrough research. Participants can register via the New York City or Global Walk websites.
