On April 30, nearly 5,000 walkers are expected participate in the 5th Annual Walk for Lupus Now, one of the largest and most profitable lupus walks in the nation.
This year the Georgia Chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America hopes to raise $250,000 to increase awareness about the autoimmune disease which can affect any organ including the joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, brain, blood, or skin. An estimated 1.5 million Americans and at least five million people worldwide have a form of lupus.
The walk will begin at 4 p.m. at Piedmont Park.
