Dr. Cristina Solé, researcher of the Systemic Diseases group at Vall d’Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR), will run the 37th Edition of the "http://www.zurichmaratobarcelona.com/" Zurich Barcelona Marathon with a great challenge: to raise funds for research on Lupus disease. With this aim, she has created a challenge in "http://www.migranodearena.org/es/reto/5455/marato-barcelona-2015/" migranodearena.org, that will be open until the day of the race, on March 15.The members of the research line in lupus at VHIR, led by Dr. José Ordi-Ros, together with the collaboration of the "http://funcalup.org/" Catalan Lupus Foundation and the "http://www.noel.es/ca/responsabilitat-social/fundacio-a-bosch/" Albert Bosch Foundation, work heavily to conduct clinical trials, design and apply protocols for the treatments, and investigate the possible causes, new therapies and biomarkers to fight against the disease.The cause of Lupus is unknown, its evolution is uncertain and researchers have not found the cure yet. Each Lupus is different but, commonly, the antibodies use to attack the own organism instead of protect it against external agents. Patients with lupus feel very tired all day, suffer from the joints and many of them present skin injuries, or even severe injuries in many vital organs such as the kidney. With the challenge created in migranodearena and her effort, "http://www.migranodearena.org/es/reto/5455/marato-barcelona-2015/" Dr. Solé aims to raise 2,000 euros. All funds collected will go directly to the research on these diseases that affect, only in Catalonia, more than 6,000 people.
