Walk-a-Payung.. a walk for charity..

I will be running @ the Sultan Azlan Shah run on the same day, so am not participating in this.. This walk will be held at KL but it's a walk for charity and I find it meaningful, especially it's meant for the World Lupus Day. Lupus is an auto-immune disease that attacks the skin and connecting tissues, and usually involved multiple organs eg joints, kidneys, lungs, heart and intestines.The immune system attacks the body itself and cause damage to the body parts in a process called oxidative pressure.



Walk-a-Payung
An Umbrella Walkathon in aid of Lupus Sufferers

Why are we walking with umbrella
- To show the SLE patients have to avoid the sun.
- To raise public awareness of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), a disease where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues.
- To raise funds in aid of people suffering from SLE.
