May is lupus awareness month.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that affects millions worldwide. This disease is more common than leukemia, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and cystic fibrosis. It affects more women than men (9 out of 10 people with lupus are women) and it disproportionately affects women of color. Unfortunately, lupus presents many complexities and barriers that have prevented scientists from finding a cure. Because no two cases are exactly the same and its symptoms mimic those of other diseases, the exact cause of lupus is unknown and it is very difficult to diagnose.

This month we are fundraising for lupus awareness and research with donations going to the Lupus Research Alliance.

For those interested in donating, we have several options available:

If you are local to Westchester county, NY, attend and/or share our Networking Mixer + Fundraiser for Lupus Awareness & Research at The Gramercy on Thursday, May 12 from 6-8pm.
