May is Lupus Awareness Month and to show our commitment to this cause, we will be raising funds in support of the LUPUS MUST DIE movement!  The purpose of this movement is to unite those affected by lupus to be the voice within our own community.  This great movement will begin in the states of California, Georgia, Maryland/DC, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Virginia and Washington. This spark of hope will unite many voices, all singing the same song to create more awareness, to give hope and to find a cure.  Since there is little to no publicity about this illness, it is up to us…..Together We Are The Cure!!

If you have been affected by Lupus and live in one of the states above, please contact us at info@sistersagainstlupus.org for additional information on joining the Lupus Must Die movement
