Meeting Team Knaup

Team Knaup is the name of my walk for lupus now team. I have never met
a single member in person until now.
Team Knaup hosted a bake sale/cook out to help raise awareness and
money for Lupus research. Due to distance our team captain Beverly
Knaup couldn't be there...however we felt her spirit and moral all
day.
I loaded up the family and we took a road trip down to vincennes
indianna. Like I said I was very nervous about how I was going to be
accepted to the team. Arriving super late didn't help my nerves any.
It seemed the team knaup members knew the instant I pulled up.
They each came to great me with open arms like they had known me
before. The first to meet me with a broad smile on her face was
beverlys mother jackie.
They handed me my.team shirt and instantly started taking team photos.
It was a great day. The sun was out and it was so nice to put names to
all my team mates.
I didn't stay long...but it was absolutley worth the long haul! We
don't have the numbers yet about what was raised yesterday...but
to....that wasn't the most important part of it.
People who came read my friend and team captians story ....that means
more people will learn about this awful disease.
I've found a huge support system in my walk for lupus now team. Im
thankful everyday for god putting. Me and beverly.together. she is an
amazing friend...amazing supporter....and an amazingly strong fighter.

"The wings of team Knaup are filled with hope!"
