Lupus Awareness Month 2017
Lupus is more pervasive and severe than people
think, and has a devastating impact that the public doesn't realize. In
fact, research shows that a staggering two-thirds of the public knows
little or nothing about lupus. You can help change that.
Join the nationwide effort to pump up the purple this May to raise awareness and funds for lupus research and education programs. Rally support from your
friends and family and get started today!
Use the Lupus Research Alliance Legislative Action Center to tell
legislators why we need greater funding for scientific research at the
National Institutes for Health and allocations to continue a dedicated
lupus research program at the Department of Defense. Equally important
is to convey why we must make sure that any new healthcare policy allows
all people with this challenging disease to get the critical medical
care they need. And to be most effective, share your own story – share
how lupus affects you! bit.ly/LupusLAC
