Other Ways to Help
Help Create a National Lupus Awareness Campaign
The Ad Council has been contracted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services-Office on
Women's Health to develop a public awareness campaign about lupus. The Ad Council created such pop culture icons as McGruff the Crime Dog, the Crash Test Dummies, and Smokey the Bear. You can help create this lupus awareness campaign which will include radio and TV, print media and the internet.
The campaign will increase public understanding of lupus, its symptoms and consequences.
Volunteers are needed! The staff of Muse Communications, the advertising agency that will produce the campaign, needs people with lupus to keep a journal for two weeks, describing what it is like to live every day with lupus. Volunteers will record all of the challenges they face in living and coping with the disease.
To obtain your journal, fill out this online form: www.lupus.org/newsite/pages/journal.html.
Within a couple of days, you will receive your journal. Write in it every day, recording your activities and emotions. Then send it back to the address provided. Every journal submitted helps develop effective advertising messages. We need your participation.
