Lupus Awareness Month

May is Lupus Awareness Month!  The one month during the year we ask everyone and anyone to help raise awareness about lupus.  Every year, we get some terrific supporters who think of tremendous ways to raise awareness!

There's Shear Ambition in Batavia, Illinois - that is setting purple hair extensions for a $10 donation to the LFAI! (click here for more).

There's Matthew Brolley, whose brother Chris has lupus.  Matthew got the city of Montgomery to officially proclaim May as Lupus Awareness Month! (click here for the proclamation)

And many supporters have asked for copies of flyers to be displayed in their workplace or emailed to colleagues.  (click here to see the flyers)

There are thousands of ways to raise lupus awareness - and we are grateful for everyone who has gone the extra mile this month!  Congratulations!

And there's still plenty of time to make a difference in your community!  Don't hesitate to contact the LFAI with any questions or ideas at info@lupusil.org

Happy Lupus Awareness Month!
