2011 WALK FOR LUPUS NOW {Atlanta Georgia Lifestyle Photographer}

Last weekend, I had the most wonderful time photographing Atlanta's Walk for Lupus Now event for Team Robin.  Robin is a Lupus Warrior and my sweetest cousin.  I remember growing up and spending summers at her house with her two sisters and her precious mommy.  We did all sorts of crazy things together...swimming at the lake, water skiing, riding four wheelers (and even their Great Dane Scooby Doo!), and roller skating in their basement.   We don't live close enough now to see each other too often, so being able to be with them for this amazing day for Lupus brought back a lot of memories and made me so hopeful of Robin's continued health.

I was amazed at the amount of money raised for Lupus research!  Our entire state raised over three hundred and fifty five thousand dollars.  Isn't that incredible?!  Team Robin was the second place team in the state with over twenty one thousand dollars in donations!  Wow!  Her team was second place to Team Mandy who collected over twenty seven thousand....again, wow! 

If you are a Lupus Warrior?  Keep on keepin' on!  If you donate your time, money, or prayers to the Lupus Foundation?  Many blessings and thanks to you on behalf of Team Robin and all those fighting this disease.
