Did you know?
- Lupus is a complex disease that is hard to define. It strikes without warning, affects each person differently, and has no known causes or cure.
- While lupus mainly affects women between the ages of 15-44, men and children are not spared. Rob was 40 years old when he finally was diagnosed!
- Lupus symptoms can be severe and highly unpredictable and can damage any organ or tissue, from the skin or joints to the heart or kidneys. Rob deals with fatigue, joint pain, head aches, skin rashes,... just to name a few of his daily symptoms.
- Only one drug, Benlysta, that has ever been developed and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration specifically to treat lupus. Rob has to go for a monthly infusion of this drug that costs us thousands of dollars each month.
We need to find a cure and do better for all those who have the manage this disease everyday. By making a donation today you are joining us to fight against lupus!
