May is Lupus Awareness Month and there were several events to make people aware of Lupus and how it affects those who live with it. It is more important than ever for us to come together and rally our communities to raise awareness and funds to support those affected.
Your help is needed to solve the mystery, find a cure, and better medicines.. Of course, I am soliciting your help once again for the 2024 Walk to End Lupus Now drive. My request this year is that you share my story on your page and ask at least 2 people to match your donation or give what they desire to give. Also, ask those 2 people to ask 2 people to donate.
Because of your help in the years that I have participated in the Walk to End Lupus I was invited to participate in the Lupus Research Advocacy Summit in Washington, DC again. May 19-21 we had intense training and advocated for medical research dollars, prescription care, and for the support of the house to join in with Lupus Foundation make people aware of this disease and it’s affects on those living with it.
You can make a donation in several ways:
1. Donate through Facebook.
2. Send a check/money order payable to Lupus Foundation to Rosemary Jackson, 10007 Fawn Grove Place, Tampa FL 33637 and I will mail to LFA.
