If you know me at all, you probably how tight I am with my mom... aka THE Patti Mantia. Well, Patti has Lupus - and next month I'm running the Falmouth Road Race to support my mom and to help raise money for our favorite non-profit: the Lupus Foundation of New England. 

In case you aren't familiar with Lupus: It's a chronic, autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack it's own healthy tissue. Lupus can damage any part of the body, commonly attacking skin, joints, kidneys, the heart, lungs and brain. Currently, there is no cure for Lupus. That's why YOUR SUPPORT MEANS SO MUCH!

As part of the charity's team we're required to raise money... And thats where I need your help. So if you are able to, please help me with any donation you can manage. Any contribution is seriously appreciated. 7 miles and a few donations closer to finding a cure for Lupus...
Thank you!
