Lupus Awareness Month
Each May rally your family, friends and community to raise funds and awareness of the invisible physical, emotional and financial impact of lupus.

My Purple Pledge Form
Living with an invisible illness like lupus can be isolating, and sometimes lead to judgment from others who don’t exactly understand the daily struggles. Most symptoms of lupus aren’t always readily visible, but on the inside, it can wreak havoc on your body, organs, and even cause emotional and mental strain.
Just because people can't see the pain, doesn't mean it's not there and potentially life-threatening.
Help bring visibility to lupus, even when it can’t be seen! Thank you for taking the pledge to continue raising awareness and help us make lupus visible year-round.
