To help in the fight against the autoimmune disease known as Lupus, volunteers will gather at Bloch Park on Oct. 19 to raise money for research and raise awareness of the condition.
According to the Lupus Foundation of America, the walk will support the estimated 35,000 people in Tennessee who have been affected.
The CDC states that the condition comes with a number of symptoms, including joint pain, rashes, kidney issues, blood clotting and many other problems.
Registration for the Selma Walk to End Lupus event on Saturday begins at 7:30 a.m., with the walk itself beginning at 9:30 a.m. Bloch Park is located at 108 West Dallas Avenue.
