The Lupus Foundation of America, Southeast Florida Chapter invites and
encourages EVERYONE locally and worldwide to participate in World Lupus
Day 2008 - May 10 2008.
Over 5 million people worldwide struggle with the
often debilitating health consequences of lupus. Lupus is a
potentially fatal autoimmune disease that is capable of causing
irrevocable damage to virtually any part of the body, including the
heart, lungs, kidneys, brain and skin. This is almost exclusively a
disease that affects women, though 10% of the documented cases are
men.
Let us know how you plan to participate and share your ideas and
PHOTOS with us.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Create an email link and ask everyone to forward it to a friend.
Keep it brief and include the basic facts about lupus. We would
greatly appreciate it if you include info@lupusfl.org
in your email list so that we can see the impact of your efforts
and extend our thanks to you.
Create
a human butterfly at a park or large stadium (pictures would speak volumes)
If
you are a teacher or have children,create a large paper link that
surrounds your school to support the linking theme that we are "all connected for the cause".
Be
as creative as you wish and share your ideas with us.

Foundation please visit

We look forward to expanding the lupus community by
SHINING A LIGHT ON LUPUS AND LINKING FOR A
CURE!
Please consider involving yourself with our
organization year round. We are always in need of volunteers.
We are here to help with this project and to meet
the needs of the community by offering hope and support to all those
affected by lupus.
