KUALA LUMPUR: Shades of purple filled Titiwangsa Lake as more than 400 participants gathered for Walk A Payung 2025, a 3km walking programme, held in conjunction with World Lupus Day.
The event yesterday saw not only patients with the chronic autoimmune disease Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) taking part, but also family members and members of the public, all dressed in purple shirts and carrying purple umbrellas – a symbol of solidarity and protection against the sun’s rays, which can trigger lupus symptoms.
