Unfortunately, the Walk for Lupus at Crescent Park on Saturday did not draw as large of numbers as organizer Chris Weber would have hoped.
In fact, only he and his wife Marianne showed up.
“I guess there’s a lot going on, and this is the first nice batch of weather we’ve had,” Chris told the Times-Herald about he things there was a lack of attendance for the weekend Lupus stroll.
However, Chris was not discouraged by Saturday and said it was only part of an ongoing effort to raise money towards Lupus SK Society, as well as awareness of the disease that has inflicted Marianne for a long time.
“My wife has had lupus for 35 years.”
According to Marianne, lupus is a chronic condition that can impact a person in many different ways, from skin rash to fever, internal organ problems to issues with one’s nervous system.
