Virtual Lupus Ambassador Kay Mimms

Today, my condition is fairly stable. In the process of learning to deal with lupus, I discovered the need to increase lupus awareness, help support lupus patients, and promote research that we hope will lead to more efficient diagnostic procedures, better treatment plans, and eventually a cure. My experiences inspired me and my husband, Cecil, to join with the Lupus Society of Illinois (LSI) in working toward the goal of expanding lupus awareness and fundraising in the Southern and South Suburban areas of Chicago.

Get Ready to Educate!

Lupus Awareness Month is the time of year when the lupus community takes time to educate their families, workplaces and neighborhoods about lupus. Education can be as modest as sending an email to your friends and family about lupus to organizing a Lupus Awareness Day at your office. We encourage you to get creative as you raise awareness about this often misunderstood disease.

Please let us know what you’re up to – you may inspire others in the lupus community to take action! Email mary@lupusil.org or call Mary at 312-648-6053.
