Join the fight against lupus and raise awareness on World Lupus Day. Let's find a cure for this complex autoimmune disease together!
Get ready to show your support for those living with lupus on World Lupus Day on May 10! This international day was established in 2004 by the Lupus Foundation of America, and is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for research and education about this chronic autoimmune disease. The date, May 10, was chosen to honor the birthday of British musician and actress Selena Gomez, who has been open about her struggles with lupus. So let's come together on this special day to spread positivity and understanding towards those affected by lupus.
Raise awareness and funds for lupus by starting a fundraising campaign. You can do this through online platforms or by organizing an event in your community.
