Today is World Lupus Day

May 10th is world lupus day. In honor of world lupus day, the LFA will be joined by Zak DeOssie and Jim Cordie, New York Giants, members of the physician community and lupus thought leaders, and individuals with lupus and their families to ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange. The goal is to raise awareness of the significant need to expand the research effort on lupus.

"I lost my childhood friend, Lucy Vodden to lupus," said Julian Lennon, LFA Global Ambassador. "This opened my eyes to how devastating the burden of lupus is on millions of individuals and their families. I urge everyone to learn more about this chronic autoimmune disease and to do their part to raise awareness of it during World Lupus Day and beyond."The Beatle's song "Lucy in the Sky," is written about her.

 Here are some more videos about fellow lupies and how lupus has changed their lives:
