FEBRUARY 2006 - It is with great sorrow that the Family and Friends of J Dilla announces his spiritual transition on the morning of February 10th, 2006 in the loving arms of his mother, Maureen Yancey.
J Dilla had suffered for over three years with an incurable blood disease, and had also been diagnosed with lupus.
He leaves behind a body of work which will be loved and rediscovered for years to come.
The Alliance for Lupus Research has initiated a nationwide Walk program that is designed to raise both awareness and dollars for the fight against lupus.
The Alliance for Lupus Research was founded in 1999 through the vision and commitment of Robert Wood Johnson IV and the support of the Arthritis Foundation. Since its inception, the ALR has committed more than $35 million to lupus research. Now we seek to raise unprecedented additional funds for lupus research through the Walk Program. Walk proceeds will enable us to support the work of well-established researchers currently working in the field and to attract bright and energetic new scientists to lupus research.
We're asking all you wonderful people to help the cause by joining us. Come out and walk, sponsor a walker or team, giving a donation (even a dollar helps), volunteering at an event. You can walk alone, join a team, or even start your own walk team. Better yet, support the fight against Lupus and celebrate Dilla Dawg but starting an ALR Walkathon team of your own and naming it "J.Dilla Project". Walk With Us! For more info on any of the above, or how to start a walk in your town, just hop on over to
