The fourth annual lupus awareness fun walk, Walk 4 Lupus, hosted by registered nurse, author, and founder of the Lupus Impact Foundation, Sagree Naicker, is taking place on Saturday 25 October at 09:00 at Kraaifontein Rugby Club.
The walk of around 5km is open to all.
Naicker is a lupus warrior herself, living with both lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
Her personal journey has driven her to become a passionate advocate for awareness, education and support through her non-profit organisation.
“Lupus is a cruel, invisible, debilitating disease, and we are raising awareness to educate the public sector and to support our lupus warriors,” says Naicker.

This year’s event promises a vibrant and inspirational atmosphere, with guests including TikTok influencer, teacher, and motivational speaker Mogammad Shukr Hartzenberg.
Representatives from Winelands Rheumatology Clinical Trials division in Stellenbosch will share expert insights into the disease.
Attendees can also look forward to exhibition stands including from dietitian Vanessa McEwen, All Smiles dentists, and more.
Entry is free but donations to the Lupus Impact Foundation are welcome.
There will be plenty of prizes, lucky draws, and community spirit.
“We walk for a cure, awareness, support, and to honour the lupus warriors we have lost – transforming adversity into advocacy, ” says Naicker.
Naicker, who recently moved to Kuils River, extends a special invitation to the community to support this initiative.
