Ad Council Survey
On May 5 The Ad Council announced that according to their recent survey 22% of women surveyed reported hearing more about Lupus as compared to one year ago.  The Ad Council launched their national Lupus awareness campaign in March of 2009.  The campaign has received $27 million in donated media since it's launch.  They also announced the launch of new Lupus PSAs for the radio.
Updated Designs
We have updated two of our Lupus awareness product designs.  The first change was the " Someone I Love" design.  We changed the heart from purple to red.  The main reason for this change was to make the design more unisex.  We also removed the blue and purple boxes from the " Doesn't Have Me" design.  This month we also created a new design.  It says "Lupus = An Immune System with No Self Control"  
Your Story
We are always looking for compelling Lupus stories to share with our visitors.  Sharing your Lupus story can not only help others, but can also be very healing for you.  Lupus is so different for each patient.  We want to represent that with personal Lupus stories.  We also share Lupus tattoos, poetry and humor, rash pictures and more.  If you would like to share visit the Contact Us page on Cure4Lupus.org.
