Stefany García talks about the 1st Holyoke Lupus Awareness Walk at Holyoke Heritage State Park.

Did you know that an estimated 1.5 million Americans are living with lupus?

It’s an invisible illness, but the community support doesn’t have to be.

Holyoke’s First Lady, Stefany García joins us in this conversation to talk about Lupus, her personal journey as a person diagnosed with Lupus, and the importance of learning about this illness.

For this purpose she is leading the organizing of a community event, happening on Sunday, May 31st, 2026 at 2:00 pm. It’s the first-ever Holyoke Lupus Awareness Walk at Holyoke’s Heritage State Park. Join neighbors, advocates, and families to enjoy educational displays, hear inspiring personal stories, and wear your best purple to show your support.
