Det. Shantay Neal-Baker, who passed away in the line of duty from COVID-19, was not only a committed public servant, but also a Lupus warrior. Despite her diagnosis, she became a national advocate for the Lupus Foundation, raising awareness and funds for research into this challenging autoimmune disease.
You can sign up to join her friends and family’s team, “Detective Tay’s Butterflies,” for the official NY Walk for the Cure at Pier 17, 89 South St, New York, NY 10038, on October 5, 2024. If you can’t make that walk, but want to donate directly to the National Lupus Foundation under the team name, please do so for “Detective Tay’s Butterflies.”
