J Dilla Project:
J Dilla had suffered for over three years with an incurable blood disease, and had also been diagnosed with lupus. He leaves behind a body of work which will be loved and rediscovered for years to come. His most recent album “Donuts” was released on February 7th, the day of his 32nd birthday. “The Shining” (BBE) was released in August 2006.
We’re asking all you wonderful people to help the cause by joining us. Come out and walk, sponsor a walker or team, giving a donation (even a dollar helps), volunteering at an event. You can walk alone, join a team, or even start your own walk team. Better yet, support the fight against Lupus and celebrate Dilla Dawg but starting an ALR Walkathon team of your own and naming it “J.Dilla Project”. Walk With Us! For more info on any of the above, or how to start a walk in your town, just hop on over to The Walk to Cure Lupus site.
The Alliance for Lupus Research was founded in 1999 through the vision and commitment of Robert Wood Johnson IV and the support of the Arthritis Foundation. Since its inception, the ALR has committed more than $42 million to lupus research. Now we seek to raise unprecedented additional funds for lupus research through the Walk Program. Walk proceeds will enable us to support the work of well-established researchers currently working in the field and to attract bright and energetic new scientists to lupus research.
