Belleville, Illinois, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allsup, the nation’s premier disability representation company®, is proud to be a silver sponsor of the “2026 Walk To End Lupus Now, St. Louis” scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 19, at Queeny Park by the Lupus Foundation of America, Heartland Region.
The in-person event begins at 9 a.m. and brings together people from the St. Louis metro area to support lupus awareness, raise funds and recognize those affected by this debilitating disease.
“Allsup is proud to advance the foundation’s mission by raising awareness, strengthening community connections and helping improve patient care and financial stability,” said T.J. Geist, principal advocate at Allsup. “A serious illness can disrupt a person’s health, employment and financial security all at once. Through expert SSDI representation and Disability Financial Solutions®, we help individuals protect their financial well-being and move forward with greater confidence.”
The disease impact can be financially significant, according to recent research and national figures indicating approximately 1.5 million Americans are living with lupus.
Allsup provides resources and assistance to individuals with lupus who are navigating the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) process. By offering guidance and support, their disability specialists help those affected by lupus access the benefits they need for financial stability and healthcare.
For more than 42 years, Allsup has helped thousands of individuals with lupus successfully receive SSDI, including monthly income and access to Medicare coverage. SSDI is a federal disability insurance program for U.S. workers and is earned with their FICA payroll taxes.
