About Us
Our Mission
To provide education and support on lupus and lupus related issues and enable research to improve quality of life.
Our Vision
We will educate, empower and improve outcomes for people affected by lupus.
The reason why I support this cause is because my mother passed away from complications of lupus when she was 57. Lupus is such a strange and misunderstood disease, and I only hope things will get better for those who are living with it and suffering from it each and every day.
I first volunteered for the LSA in high school and have been coming back almost every year since. Step Out for Lupus is a blast; the community of participants are so friendly and enthusiastic, and it has been a privilege to work with the excellent executives of the society.
Every year I’m amazed at how Step Out for Lupus gets bigger and better. Hard working volunteers and the LSA put on a warm, welcoming and fun day for all ages, and the money raised goes to research, awareness, and to help support people affected by lupus. I am so proud to be a member of the LSA team.
