Nicolasa Aponte

I am walking to raise awareness for lupus, a disease that is poorly understood and frequently undiagnosed. My participation will help support patients and providers. I myself was diagnosed at a young age. I want to raise the awareness that Lupus knows no age, it can happen to anyone at anytime. It's life changing! I hope that my Teams impact shows others being newly diagnosed that they are never alone and there are people that will stick by you even in your darkest hours. You have just joined a fight with some incredible warriors. (The YouTube video below was created by my little sister, She did her senior project on Lupus. She wanted to learn more about it and to bring awareness to others. She convinced me to share a little about my story for it. I thought I would share it.)

About the Walk

On Sunday, September 10th, 2017, Western New York will celebrate its 22nd Annual Lupus Walk and raise funds to provide support and hope for nearly 9,000 of our neighbors, colleagues and family members affected by this debilitating disease.

Lupus is the least known major disease of our day. It can affect the skin, organs, joints, and blood. Those who have it struggle with a multitude of changing symptoms, pain, and not knowing what is happening to them for an average of five years, before even being diagnosed. Imagine waiting 5 years to learn what’s hurting you! The Lupus journey is a lonely path and one that should never be faced alone.

Lupus Walk 2017 is more than a fundraiser. It is a pledge to nearly 9,000 Western New Yorkers that we walk with and for them to give them what they need to live their best lives.

Your support will bring us closer to early detection, better treatment and, ultimately, a cure.
