Our Story

Lupus affects over 5 million people worldwide, yet so little is known about the condition that it baffles medical professionals until today. This lack of awareness leads to countless misdiagnoses and deaths – deaths that could have been prevented had more people been armed with the correct information.

The Hope for Lupus Foundation seeks to change all that. It envisions a world without lupus and aims to shed light on the disease to help people win the fight against lupus.
