| Thank you for your support of the 2007 Lupus Loop! With the help of so many participants, fund raisers, donors and volunteers, the 16th Annual Lupus Loop was a record-breaking event all around! We had over 2200 participants and are on pace to reach our goal!
Your contribution will make a difference in the continuing effort to find a cure.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and tissue damage to virtually any organ system in the body. It strikes mostly women of childbearing age, although women of all ages, as well as men and children, develop lupus. Lupus is a life-threatening, life-diminishing disease. There are major gaps that exist in our understanding of the causes and consequences of lupus. To address these gaps, it is essential that we continue to call upon individuals, corporations, foundations and federal, state and local governments to greatly expand their efforts so that the 1.5 million Americans with lupus may have hope that the disease will be brought under control and a cure will be found.
Thank you for being a part of this effort. |
