Lupus Foundation of America Rallies Communities to Make Lupus Visible for Lupus Awareness Month | Lupus Foundation of America

Summary: May is Lupus Awareness Month, and the Lupus Foundation of America is asking everyone to help "Make Lupus Visible." Lupus is a chronic disease where the body's immune system gets confused and attacks healthy tissue. This causes severe pain, inflammation, and sometimes serious kidney damage. About 1.5 million Americans have lupus, and 9 out of 10 are women. It also heavily affects women of color.

Because many lupus symptoms are invisible to others, the foundation is spreading the word through an online quiz, asking people to wear purple on May 10, and teaming up with video game streamers to raise money. Every voice helps speed up research for better treatments!
