Karla Dixon and Larry Cotlar of the Lupus Foundation joined us in the studio after the 8:30 news this morning to tell us about a special Walk To End Lupus Now. There are approximately 15,000 Iowans living with Lupus. There are many different maladies associated with Lupus and it is an autoimmune disease for which there is no cure. The one symptom that most people with Lupus have, it a rash resembling a butterfly on the face. The Walk along with a raffle with tons of sports memorabilia as well as the Punching Pandas will be this Saturday, August 26th from 9AM til Noon at Jordan Creek Town Center in West Des Moines (around the lake).
