Did You Know May is National Lupus Awareness Month?

Research shows that most Americans know little or nothing about lupus and its devastating impact on millions of people. You can change that! Band Together for Lupus Awareness and help the LFA fight this unpredictable and sometimes fatal disease by showing support for those who suffer from it. We can't do it alone -- we need your support!

It's easy to participate! Following are some ways you can Put On Purple for Lupus Awareness, Tell the Lupus Story, and Change Lives:
