You can tell them your story, give them Lupus information and stats

Dear Martha Stewart Show:
I am writing to you today
to let you know about a cause that needs your help and to ask
you to do a segment about Lupus.
Lupus affects an estimated 1.5
million Americans and 90% of them are women. For such a common
disease that is killing thousands of Americans every year, it is
dreadfully under publicized, misunderstood and lets just be honest,
ignored. This disease is often disabling and almost always
life altering for not only the patient, but also for their families.
It has been over 40 years since the FDA has approved a new treatment for
Lupus. That is inexcusable when the current treatments can be
just as debilitating as the disease itself.
Almost everybody has heard of
Lupus and even knows somebody who has it, but if you asked them what
it is they wouldn't know, or they would tell you something vague or
just plain false. There are a lot of misconceptions out there.
We hope you will consider
dedicating some time to a disease that is killing and disabling
thousands of people every year! We will be asking our support network
of Lupus patients and their families to let you know how much this
show is needed as well. If you want to read more about Lupus
you can visit my website at Cure4Lupus.org or the Lupus Foundation
of America's website at Lupus.org.
