Lupus Awareness Month | Southeast
May is Lupus Awareness Month! It’s an opportunity for the lupus community to join together across the country to raise funds and awareness of the physical, emotional, and economic impact of lupus.
There are many ways you can help Make Lupus Visible in May - from sharing your story on social media to starting a fundraiser or making a donation.
Visit our toolkit page to find sample social media posts, lupus facts, and more to help get you started. And, don’t forget to get ready to Put on Purple on World Lupus Day, May 10!
Living with an invisible illness like lupus can be isolating, and sometimes lead to judgment from others who don’t exactly understand the daily struggles. Most symptoms of lupus aren’t always readily visible, but on the inside, it can wreak havoc on your body, organs, and even cause emotional and mental strain.
Just because people can't see the pain, doesn't mean it's not there and potentially life-threatening.
Help bring visibility to lupus, even when it can’t be seen! Thank you for taking the pledge to continue raising awareness and help us make lupus visible year-round.
