| Dear Mantis, All month individuals like you around the world made commitments to expand awareness of lupus and raised critical funds to advance research and enhance education programs. We are inspired by the countless number who participated in a Walk to End Lupus Now® event, Put On Purple, signed up to Make Your Mark™, or shared lupus information on social media. Thank you. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of all people with lupus! Some highlights from our collective efforts include: - Defense Appropriations bill included $5-million for lupus research program, the culmination of more than a decade of Foundation-led efforts.
- World Lupus Federation established, with 200 global lupus groups collaborating on education, awareness and advocacy.
- Our KNOW LUPUS campaign reached over 365 million people since this time last year.
Check out our video to see what you helped make possible! 
While Lupus Awareness Month comes to a close, our fight is far from over. We're excited to continue the momentum by announcing our partnership with other lupus organizations to host the first-ever Lupus Patient-Focused Drug Development Meeting! Your voice can help to shape the drug development process by educating the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about the impact of lupus on daily life and challenges in existing treatments. Intrigued? Read the full announcement and stay tuned for details. We couldn't do any of this without the collaboration and support of people like you working in communities across the globe on behalf of people with lupus. Sincerely, 
Sandra C. Raymond
President and CEO
Lupus Foundation of America  |
