May is Lupus Awareness Month! Wear purple this Friday (May 18) in support of lupus awareness. The symbol of lupus awareness in the purple butterfly so I thought how better to increase awareness than crochet? Check out the Lupus Awareness Foundation website for more details about wearing purple this Friday: http://www.lupus.org/newsite/pages/lupus-awareness-month.html
What is SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus)?
SLE is an autoimmune disease that affects more than 150,000 people in the US, 90% of whom are women. It can present in a multitude of ways affecting multiple organ systems. New treatments are available, but people with SLE still have a shortened life expectancy and the side effects of treatment can affect their quality of life (
