Honorary Walk to Cure Lupus co-chairs Rex Ryan, Jets Head Coach, and Mike Tannenbaum, Jets General Manager, invite you to help the Jets find a cure for lupus at our new home. If you or someone you know has lupus, or you just want to make a difference in someone's life, consider forming a team and raising funds for the Alliance for Lupus Research's seventh annual Northern New Jersey Walk With Us to Cure Lupus.
