Lupus Charity Runners

Lupus Charity Runners are a group of both new and seasoned runners who run, bike, or swim to raise funds and awareness for the Lupus Society of Illinois.

The Lupus Society of Illinois’ mission is to promote lupus awareness and complement the work of health care professionals by providing personalized resources for the lupus community while supporting research. Our vision is to be recognized as an active resource for Illinois’ lupus community. For over forty years, the Lupus Society of Illinois (LSI) has been serving the lupus community. We understa

nd the uncertainty and heartache of having lupus and caring for someone with the disease. Our team works tirelessly to provide answers to difficult questions and offers reliable resources to everyone touched by lupus. We are able to deliver all of our programs and services at no cost to the lupus community.
