Today's World Lupus Day!

We need awareness! Currently on vacation and can barely walk for long. My feet are incredibly swollen. This is of course happening because I have Lupus Nephritis which means my kidneys are not functioning properly. I'm stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease. Do I look it no? But this is why we advocate!


Whether it's a purple shirt, hat, lipstick or more, Go Purple To Make Lupus Visible on World Lupus Day and share why you're wearing purple. Tell your friends and family! We can’t fight this disease alone!


Get Social Take a pic of you, your family, friends, or co-workers decked out in purple and post to your social media using #GoPurpleToEndLupus and #POP22 #WorldLupusDay22. Share why you are wearing purple and inspire others to join you!
