World Lupus Day - May 10th, 2007

I wanted to let people know that this coming Thursday - May 10th - is World Lupus Day. This international event has the goal of increasing lupus awareness so that more people understand this complicated disease. Of course, a little fundraising is always great too. In Canada, our national organization, Lupus Canada, has developed an amazing partnership with a group of doctors and researchers working to find the cure for lupus. This group is called CaNIOS and while I was in Winnipeg I had the opportunity to meet some of these top doctors and experts. It was amazing!! Through this partnership, which is apparently unprecedented in the health charity world, Lupus Canada sends donated funds directly to the doctors and researchers - no middle man, no overhead! It is truly amazing. Having now met the key people working to solve the lupus puzzle, I have great confidence that they will find, not only the cause of lupus, but a cure as well. Please take a moment to learn more about World Lupus Day and about how you can help people living with lupus. If you are inclined to make a donation - there is the opportunity to do that in the link. Thank you!!!!!

Cheers
