This Saturday I will be walking for the fourth year in a walk to raise money to find a cure for Lupus.

Why am I doing this? Good question!  :D

My wife Kim was diagnosed with Lupus about 5 and a half years ago. There is no known cure very few drugs to treat the disease. Most are developed for other issues and cross into use to combat the current symptoms.

Thanks to Robert Johnson (of Johnson and Johnson) for creating the Alliance for Lupus Research, all money raised goes directly toward research for a cure.

Seems lupus is well overdue for some attention. Never know what might be a round the corner though. Might chat with Carbon Chemist, he's in my clan (202pwest)and works on development of new drugs. A shot in the dark but he is about as close to that source as anyone I know. A nice guy if he knows any info. I sure bet he would let you know. Good Luck to your wife and family Chris.
