INTERNATIONAL
LUPUS
AWARENESS DAY

Raising Awareness is Crucial for 3 Reasons:

1. To gain more widespread acceptance and understanding for lupus and other 'invisible disabilities'.

2. To help people identify symptoms early so as to get treatment as soon as possible to reduce permanent damage to their bodies.

3. To help raise funding to further research into the causes of lupus and, hopefully, to someday find a cure.
