Why Do You Walk for the ALR???
Sue Scarborough Myrick says:
I walk for Lupus because after suffering for most of my life and being told it is all in my head I was diagnosed with Lupus. I want to raise awareness and help to find a cure to help prevent other families from going through what my family has gone through! My team is Sue's Sweeties Against Lupus and we are walking in Boston on June 13.

Erika's Crew from Connecticut Rocks!
Ansonia to host 5K walk for lupus research
Laura Poquette says she's pleased she and her daughter, Erika Poquette, 18, are able to bring the second annual 5K walk for the Alliance for Lupus Research to the Valley.
"We're glad we can hold the walk at Nolan Field this year," Laura Poquette said. "Last year, we held it in a more central location in the state, but it seemed most of the people there were from the Valley, so we changed the location."
The walk will step off at 10 a.m. June 27 at the track at Jarvis Field in the Nolan Sports Complex, 350 Wakelee Ave. Check-in starts at 9 a.m. The 5K (3.1-mile) walk around the track will be held rain or shine.
