Lupus Awareness Month

Living with an invisible illness like lupus can be isolating, and sometimes lead to judgment from others who don’t exactly understand the daily struggles. Most symptoms of lupus aren’t always readily visible, but on the inside, it can wreak havoc on your body and even cause emotional and mental strain. Just because people can’t see the pain, doesn’t mean it’s not there. This May, help bring visibility to lupus, even when it can’t be seen!

May 10 is POP (Put On Purple) Day

Join the growing number of individuals, communities, media, and celebrities that are making a difference this Lupus Awareness Month. Put on purple to show your support of the fight to end the brutal impact of this disease. Whether it’s a purple shirt, hat, sunglasses, or more, wear your favorite purple items on May 10 to raise lupus awareness and encourage others to donate! Spread the word throughout your community and take to social media to make lupus visible.

Dine To Donate

Poster_Dine-To-Donate2023Valenti’s Ristorante is Broadview Heights has been an avid supporter of the LFA, GOC over the years.  They have graciously offered to host a Dine-to-Donate on May 10th (POP Day).  They will be donating 20% of their proceeds on Wednesday May 10th!

Take the Purple Pledge

I pledge to help Make Lupus Visible during May, so others learn about lupus and more people will know about this often invisible, serious, debilitating, and potentially life-threatening disease. Lupus is a life-long autoimmune disease that can cause pain, inflammation, and tissue damage to any organ in the body. 

I will raise awareness in my community year-round and bring visibility to lupus even when it can’t be seen.

May 10 is also World Lupus Day
