Welcome to the 50 for 50 Fundraising Page for the Lupus Alliance of America LI/Q Affiliate.

CHECK BELOW FOR WAYS TO WIN OVER $600 in VISA GIFT CARDS!
 
Imagine being diagnosed with a mulit-system incurable disease like lupus. Imagine dealing with the crippling fatigue, hair loss, seizures, memory loss, arthritis and organ damage. Imagine having to change your entire lifestyle over night to accomodate your pain, symptoms and doctors visits. Imagine!!! 
 
Now imagine finding out that the medications you are being given to control your disease not only have toxic and potentially dangerous side effects of their own, but they are the same medications that were given to treat lupus in the 1950`s. This is what over 2 Million Americans who have lupus face today.
 
There has not been a new medication approved by the FDA for lupus in over 50 years!
 
May is Lupus Awareness month. Please join the Lupus Alliance of LIQ in their fight against lupus with their 50 for 50 campaign. The 50 for 50 campaign was designed to spread awareness about lupus, and the long fight we are still battling to receive better medications!
