RUNNING FOR LUPUS because running will never be as painful, physically or mentally as Lupus!!

I’ll be running the GREAT NORTH RUN - September 8th

AND…………..

LETS RUN 100 MILES IN 5 DAYS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF LUPUS! 🦋

Let’s make this invisible illness visible!

From Manchester to Coventry!

I’m Sarah, and I am a Lupus Warrior!

In 1996, at the age of 15, I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (Lupus SLE)

In the last 27 years I have had so many major flare ups that have resulted in hospital stays, endless medications, infusions, injections, surgeries. I have fought hard to stay alive and I feel it’s only right that I spread much needed awareness of this life threatening, invisible disease. Knowledge and awareness is key when diagnosing Lupus. The average diagnosis time is 7 years! This is too long and is usually too late to treat the condition as it’s already done too much damage.

I’m attempting to run 100 miles over 5 days (20 miles a day) to raise as much awareness as I possibly can.

My biggest strength and supporter (my sister) will be running with me, as we take on this challenge.

With Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Raynauds syndrome and some other complications I shall be keeping a close eye on my condition.

If you want to run with us part of the way, donate money, donate your time, spread awareness or just give us jelly babies along the way, we will be extremely grateful!!

Let’s kick lupus in the butt!

Let’s do this!!!
