What's it all about?

It's more than a walk. The Sjögren’s Walkabout is a national awareness and fundraising event.

The event focuses on increasing community awareness of Sjögren’s syndrome as well as promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. Participants raise funds to support research and education programs offered by the Sjögren’s Syndrome Foundation. 

Everyone is encouraged to participate whether you come to an event to walk or to meet other fellow Sjögren’s supporters and cheer on the participants. Your attendance is important to show that Sjögren’s affects many. Together we will conquer this disease.
