On June 11 the LFNC put on their 5k WALK/RUN FOR LUPUS. The Lupus Foundation of Northern California hosted their annual 5k Walk to rave reviews! Over $70,000 dollars was raised and participation was up by more than 20%! I got to sing the national anthem and a song I wrote for lupus called "It's My Time", which can be heard on www.beatlupus.com. The run was at the West Valley College, Saratoga. There was a booth from the Raider Nation, the Raiderettes, and we had live music from Gabriela Sepulveda and Chris Jackson, DJ and guitarist from KBAY 94.5 FM. It was a wonderful day.
