Hey ,

I know it’s on the 10th May world lupus day. I was wondering if anyone does anything for it to share awareness . I’m hoping to get at least 5 people from work to where purple on that day , and give some leaflets in the staff room !

Thanks . I just think there is many of us with lupus , and not enough people know about it ! If I can teach one person something about lupus I’ll be happy 🙂

I will too!

I would like to speak for the minority of males who have lupus.

Does anyone have a link to a site where I can buy tee shirts etc

This is a link to the Lupus Uk website that sells t shirts . I am not sure where you are from though ? If not you can google lupus t shirts and there are all different designs that have been created !

I just nearly bought a female one. Oh my god there are so many to choose from.

Check Amazon.

Thanks Loulamb

I was privileged to be in London last week when the Medical Research Fund provided Funding of £200,000 to support research into Lupus in Edinburgh, Leeds and Manchester. Best wishes Kevin

Hi LouLamb,

You may like to have a look at our 'World Lupus Day' page on our website for inspiration and how to order fundraising materials: lupusuk.org.uk/world-lupus-...

Wearing purple on the day is a great idea! Thank you so much for wanting to raise awareness, your support is greatly appreciated!

Well done Lou! Brilliant idea. Any way we can raise awareness and get people to discuss it with us, the better. I used to bake a couple of cakes and leave them in the staff room table for break time, along with the Lupus UK raffle tickets / anyone who bought a raffle ticket could have a piece of cake. X
