About Cure4Lupus

Cure4Lupus.org was created to help raise Lupus Awareness and money for Lupus Research. Lupus is one of the most misunderstood diseases in the world today and there has been an appalling lack of advancement in the treatment of Lupus. 60% of Americans say they know little to nothing about Lupus and it has been 40 years since the FDA has approved a new treatment for Lupus.

Using their skills as the Internet generation to distribute Lupus information to sufferers, their families, health care workers, and the public. They also recruit people and teach them how to help spread Lupus awareness. Cure4Lupus.org helps support Lupus sufferers and their families with financial aid, emotional support and reliable information. And, this company raises money for Lupus research.

There are several ways Cure4Lupus raises money for Lupus research. The primary way is the sale of Lupus Awareness Products. A portion of every sale is donated to organizations that directly fund Lupus research such as the Lupus Foundation of America, and it's individual chapters, the Alliance for Lupus Research and the Lupus Research Institute. Another way Cure4Lupus.org raises money for Lupus research is by promoting and funding Lupus awareness and fundraising events all over the country. They also promote other Lupus organizations and encourage donations directly to these organizations.

Kendra Isola, one of the founders, has suffered from life threatening Lupus since the age of 13. Kendra like most Lupus patients lives everyday with debilitating pain, fatigue, depression and other symptoms even though her Lupus is in remission. The reason for this is because the medications used to treat Lupus can be just as debilitating as the disease itself. This is why Cure4Lupus.org focuses on Lupus research aimed at finding a cause and a cure for Lupus rather than more toxic treatments. Kendra does a lot of the web design for Cure4Lupus.org when she is feeling well. She also sets the vision and focus for the company. Kendra also works with the Lupus Foundation of America, Iowa Chapter. She has served on the board of this great Lupus charity for two years. She is currently Chair of the Board of Directors. Working with this not-for-profit organization allows us to further our goals in new and exciting ways. Email Kendra@Cure4Lupus.org

Matthew Isola, one of Cure4Lupus.org's founders was first introduced to Lupus when he met Kendra in 1996. Like most Americans he had heard of the disease but had no idea what it was. Shortly after Matthew and Kendra were married in 2002 Kendra's Lupus became so debilitating that she was no longer able to work and she had to file for disability. Around this time Matthew himself was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Those early years of feeling alone and unsupported, dealing with these issues has driven Matthew in his fight against this disease. Matthew manages the day-to-day operations of the company. He manages employees, finances and order processing. Matthew also serves on the Iowa Walks for Lupus Now Committee every year. Email Matthew@Cure4Lupus.org

Kerri Teed is Kendra Isola's father. He has watched the devastation Lupus has caused in his daughter's life and now works to defeat this disease. Kerri works with Cure4Lupus.org by participating in events around the country, raising Lupus awareness and money for Lupus research. Email Kerri@Cure4Lupus.org

Char Teed, Kendra's grandmother, also works with Cure4Lupus.org because she has watched the effects of Lupus on Kendra and other Lupus sufferers. She has been a nurse for 30 years and brings a unique perspective to the company. Char helps with advocacy both on the local and national level. She contributes to the content of the site including keeping up on the latest research. She also works with The Lupus Foundation of America, Iowa Chapter, Inc. Email Char@Cure4Lupus.org
