**Katie needs a cure!**
Help us not only raise awareness about this disease that affects 1.5-2 million Americans every year, help support Katie and her quest for a cure.
No new Lupus medication has been approved in over 50 years, but with your help we can change that!
Don't think she isn't giving back either, Katie is a participant in the Universtiy of Michigan's Lupus Reseach program. This means that she gives an additional 6 tubes of blood each time she goes to her doctor!
Tell all your friends that you know someone with Lupus and encourage them to help our cause!
**UPDATE 3/10/09** Katie's Birthday is March 12th! What better way to celebrate then making a donation to Lupus research! :) Why not donate $24 for her age!(Leave a message for her here in the comment box and she will get it! )
**UPDATE 11/6/2008*** Donate now to get your own "Someone you Know Has Lupus" Purple wristband!!! (while supplies last)
Make a donation and then email me your address to send the wristband: elizabeth.schock@gmail.com

I have known Katie Allen since I was about 2 years old.
Katie was diagnosed with Lupus our junior year of high school (2002). I'm so proud of how far she as come but her and other people suffering from this illness need your help!
We need more research to hopefully find better treatment options and possibly a cure!
