As of January 2014, one of our Hurlers was diagnosed with Lupus which is additionally causing her thrombocytopenia. She is not able to work, she had to find a new home for her cats and also had to hang up the cleats for this season.
Cecilia is taking up the fight and helping to spread the work about Lupus and is raising money to help improve the life for all people affected by Lupus.
If you would like to support Cecilia by walking/fundraising, donating, or spreading the word, this is her team's page:

The Milwaukee Walk to End Lupus Now event is Saturday, June 7 at Mount Mary College.
Additionally, there is a Facebook Event Cecilia created for the Walk to End Lupus.
