This year, our Chapter's new Advocacy Task Force will storm the Summit with members including Board Chair, Carla Day; Kayla Lockwood; Kristy Carter; Roselyn and Sheree Moore; Michelle McGuire and our Executive Director, Lisa Kelly. In the past, we've had only one or two people representing Indiana at the Summit so we're very excited to have a bigger presence at this year's Summit!

More Information
On average, it takes nearly six years for people with lupus to be diagnosed, from the time they first notice their lupus symptoms.
The Lupus Foundation of America estimates that 1.5 million Americans, and at least five million people worldwide, have a form of lupus.
Lupus strikes mostly women of childbearing age. However, men, children, and teenagers develop lupus, too. Most people with lupus develop the disease between the ages of 15-44.
