Dear Lupus Foundation Community,

We are writing to share the difficult news that the Lupus Foundation of New England has made the decision to cancel the upcoming Purple Pumpkin 5K Walk scheduled for October 25, 2026.

This was not an easy decision, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or disappointment this may cause. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who registered, supported our efforts, and helped spread awareness about lupus.

Your continued support means so much to us. While we are disappointed that we will not be gathering for the walk this year, our commitment to the lupus community remains strong. We will continue working to raise awareness, provide support, and make a difference in the lives of those affected by lupus.

Thank you for your understanding, compassion, and continued support of the Lupus Foundation of New England.

With gratitude,
The Lupus Foundation of New England Team
