DONATE
It is estimated that nearly 1.5 million Americans have lupus, a chronic auto-immune disease that causes the body to reject its own cells, tissues, and organs. Every year, 16,000 new cases of lupus are diagnosed and 5,000 people die of the disease. There is no known cause for this disease and there is no known cure. Donate today and help us find a cause of and a cure for this life-altering and life-threatening disease.
At this time, we do not have the ability to accept online donations.
