MAY IS LUPUS AWARENESS MONTH! As we commemorate Lupus Awareness Month, let us reflect on the many developments in the lupus community from which we all draw inspiration and hope in our continued fight to end all suffering from this debilitating disease. Let us continue to support more services for lupus patients and their families and to advocate for more lupus research in the hope that someday, we will see "life without lupus."
