The Lupus Research Alliance is set to host the '2024 South Florida Walk with Us to Cure Lupus' event at Lynn University in Boca Raton. Lupus, an autoimmune disease, triggers the body's immune system to attack its tissues and organs, causing a range of symptoms.

Additionally, the Atlantic Health System has enrolled the first U.S. patient in a groundbreaking Lupus treatment program, showcasing the efforts to find effective solutions for those living with the disease. This event aims to raise awareness and funds to support research and aid individuals like Shaniyah in their battle against Lupus.

Shaniyah W.'s journey highlights the challenges faced by young individuals grappling with autoimmune conditions and the importance of ongoing research and support. Joining the South Florida Walk with Us to Cure Lupus event presents an opportunity to contribute to the fight against Lupus and stand in solidarity with those impacted by this condition.
