World Lupus Day (May 10th)

We are a network of more than FIVE MILLION people around the world who are living with lupus. While lupus is a severe and life-changing autoimmune disease that can affect any organ in the body, we refuse to let lupus define us.

We are fighters – passionate and dedicated – who have chosen to join forces with our families, doctors, researchers, government leaders, and caring people like you to fight lupus.

We are warriors – determined to bring an end to the devastating impact of lupus. We will not quit until we secure a better quality of life for all people with lupus, their families, and future generations so that everyone can live well in a world without lupus.

The first step begins with education. Knowledge is a powerful tool that can defeat lupus. Knowledge can help those who are looking for answers and provide support and hope to people who struggle with lupus every day.

Knowledge also can rally people to our cause. With knowledge, they can take actions to increase awareness, raise money for research, and encourage government leaders to do everything they can to help people with lupus.
