On Saturday, April 26th, 2014, Dr. William Segal and his team will be taking part in the Walk to End Lupus held in Piedmont Park by the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA). The Atlanta Walk, the largest LFA walk in the nation, plans to host over 8,000 walkers in an effort to raise funds and awareness for lupus, an unpredictable and potentially fatal autoimmune disease that affects 55,000 Georgians.
Lupus is a poorly understood disease, one that has garnered little in the way of public attention. It is Dr. Segal’s hope, as well as the hope of his team and the Lupus Foundation as a whole, to let Georgia know that this is a worthy cause and to “take Lupus awareness from a whisper to a shout.” So come out to Piedmont Park on Saturday, April 26th, 2014 and support Dr. Segal and 8,000 others in uniting against this disease.
