I have been the President & CEO of the Lupus Foundation of America, Heartland Chapter for 10 years. In that time, I have met so many strong, brave, and determined lupus warriors that I now call friends. I work hard every day for them. I want to see a day when we find better treatments for lupus and eventually a cure. 

But we need money to make that a reality. I hope you will consider making a donation to support my friends with lupus. 

Together, we can solve the cruel mystery of lupus. Thank you for your generosity!

Did you know?

• Lupus is a mysterious and misunderstood autoimmune disease. It strikes without warning, affects each person differently, and has no known causes or cure.
• Lupus symptoms can be severe and highly unpredictable and can damage any organ or tissue, from the skin or joints to the heart or kidneys.
• While lupus can strike anyone at any time, 90% of people living with lupus are women. Women of color are at especially high risk.
