All New Lupus Designs |
Cure4Lupus.org is starting off the new year with 13 new designs for our Lupus products. We have gotten rid of the most unpopular designs, revamped some of your favorite designs and we have even added a couple brand new designs. We have also created pages that allow you to shop by design. If you find a design you like, you can now view all the products available with that design. Products currently available with these designs are bags, buttons, hats, jr. tank tops, jr. tees, sweatshirts, tank tops, t-shirts, v-necks, journals, magnets, mouse pads, and calendars. We will be adding new products with these designs in the near future. Additional products are available now in our Cafepress store.

Advocacy Day 2009 |
Americans are afforded rights not available to everyone. We are able to communicate to our government about what is important to us. Every year the Lupus Foundation of America takes advantage of this with Lupus Advocacy Day in Washington D.C. Advocacy Day has been a very valuable and successful part of the fight for a cure for Lupus. Last year alone more than 300 people descended on congress to lobby for Lupus research. Funds for Lupus research were earmarked by several governmental agencies including funding for a 3 year Ad Council campaign. This year's Advocacy Day will be held on March 2-3. Cure4Lupus.org plans to attend and we hope to see you there! Visit the LFA's Advocacy Day Page for more information.

Your Lupus Story |
Are you a patient, caregiver, family member, or friend with a Lupus story to share? We would love to post it on our Lupus Stories page. One of the most important parts of coping with Lupus is to realize that you are not alone. Sharing your story will help others see that they are not the only ones facing these issues. Telling your story can also be very healing for you, writing can help us connect to things we may not even realize we feel. If you would like to share your story, email it to: webmaster@cure4lupus.org.
