FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE- Washington, D.C. WALKS FOR A CURE FOR LUPUS

Washington, D.C. - On Sunday, October 2nd 2011, thousands of D.C. area residents will join the Alliance for Lupus Research (ALR) for the Washington, D.C. Walk with Us to Cure Lupus at the National Mall Capitol Reflecting Pool beginning at 9 a.m. Ted Leonsis, Chairman
and Majority Owner of Monumental Sports & Entertainment which owns the Washington Capitals (NHL), Wizards (NBA) and Mystics (WNBA), is chairing this year’s event. Last year’s D.C. ALR Walk generated more than $125,000, this year’s event is expected to raise $200,000
for lupus research, and will be held rain or shine. For more information on how you can participate contact the ALR office toll-free at 866-WALK ALR or visit walk.lupusresearch.org.

ABOUT LUPUS: Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease in which a person's immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells and tissues and can cause life-threatening damage to major organs such as the kidneys, lungs, heart and the central nervous system. Additionally, it is the leading cause of death among women with autoimmune diseases who are in their childbearing years (ages 15-45). No single test can be used to diagnose lupus, and it may
take several months or years after symptoms first appear for doctors to make a definitive. Approximately 1 in 200 Americans have lupus. Anyone can develop lupus, including children, but certain people are more likely to develop the disease. Nine out of ten people who have
lupus are women, and the disease usually strikes during the childbearing years. Lupus is three times more common in African-American women than in Caucasian women and is also more
prevalent in women of Latino, Asian, and Native American descent.

ABOUT THE ALLIANCE FOR LUPUS RESEARCH: The ALR was founded in 1999 by Robert Wood Johnson IV, a member of the founding family of Johnson & Johnson, and owner of the New York Jets. The mission of the Alliance for Lupus Research is to fund biomedical research
into the cause, treatment and ultimately the cure for lupus. 100% of every dollar donated to the ALR, including support for the Walk with Us to Cure Lupus program, goes to support lupus research programs because ALR’s Board of Directors funds all administrative and fundraising expenses.

(Washington, D.C.) - May 20, 2011 - Marti Dorner has been through her share of trials. The former background vocalist for top Christian artists such as Larnelle Harris, Ron Kenoly and The Gaither Vocal Band, has weathered many a storm.  But she has emerged better and stronger with a song in her heart.  A supreme vocalist who can easily glide from Contemporary Christian music and Contemporary Gospel, Marti just released her long-awaited self-titled debut.  The 11-track CD is not just an impressive collage of musical experiences, but each and every song is breathed out of tragedies and triumphs.

 

"Even Now", the CD's lead single, is a reminder of the fact that God is always present. The song was penned by the artist after one of the most painful times in her life.  "I wrote 'Even Now' after the loss of my first child," explains Marti.  "Although I was going through an excruciating amount of pain, the lyrics to the song came to me."  The song's words center around giving praise to the Lord, "no matter where the winds will blow". It's a song about walking with God even through life's stormy times.

 

Depression and other challenges have come her way, but with God's help, she's persevered.  As a youth, she struggled with insecurities, not thinking she was pretty and feeling like she didn't fit in.  Those experiences have given her a heart for young women.  It's the reason why she wants to encourage them to view themselves through the eyes of God.  Marti says, "I want to make sure that young women know that no matter what they go through or what people say about them, they need to believe what the Bible says about them.  They need to understand who they are in God."

 

Her project contains songs of joy as well.  Tracks like the mellow and liberating, "Free" and "Clap Your Hands", a festive song of rejoicing highlighted by Caribbean rhythms, which flaunt Marti's Bahamian roots, celebrate the ultimate joy all believers have in Christ.  Other inspirational ballads on Marti include the breathtakingly beautiful track, "In His Hands" and the upbeat praise anthem "Sacrifice".  Marti shines brightly on the soft, reverent ballad, "I Come To Worship". Marti can be purchased through CDBaby.com, Amazon.com . Digital downloads are available through iTunes.  Marti is supporting her new release with ministry dates (found below).  For more information, log on to Marti's new website, www.MartiDorner.com.

I would love it if you would join us tonight for our weekly broadcast book discussion of "Ravaged Relentlessly: Biblical Help for Those Overcoming Sexual Crime".  

Tonight, and nearly every Friday night, I read through the book via www.ustream.tv and I field questions and comments via chat (www.talkshoe.com) or conference call at 1.724.444.7444 code 96557#.  

Its a program for Survivors as well as Leaders and Concerned citizens.  Its time we did more than just talk about it, its time we knew what God is saying to the Victim about healing from the pain of sexual crime.  

Tonight, we would love to have a few testimonies, if you have the book, we are on Chapter 5 tonight.  We start at 10pm EST.  Talk to you then. :)
