Tori's Butterfly:The Fight for Lupus
Target:
Lupus the Disease: NOT affiliated with my.care2.com/lupusmctd>
Sponsored by:
I am the mother of a daughter fighting Lupus. Tori is only 25 yrs. old , that is too young. Yet, Lupus is not an age discriminator. Lupus is a disease like cancer, there is no cure and it kills just the same. Although Lupus is now a more Common illness, more so than Cancer and Aids combined.
We are fighting for Congress to wake up and realize we need funding from them to allow more Lupus Research and more Lupus Awareness Programs, not just for the patients, but for the families and friends also..!
As individuals we are not asking for money, just your signature to show how many of us are affected with this illness, to make them wake up. We ask for help in finding a Cure , help in understanding Lupus, and help in more Support Programs.
This is a nation wide illness that is a silent killer, and it gets NO attention.
We deserve the SAME attention as Cancer and Aids.
We want to live also...PLEASE Sign this petition, its time to wake up!

My daughter and neice both have Lupus....it has changed their lives dramatically. One of the worst things is that people don't understand what they are fighting just to exist each day...because they don't look sick, it is hard to explain to their employers that they are very sick indeed....AWARENESS.....is so missing....

My daughter contracted the disease when she was 19. She is now 41 and is still in pain daily from ths disease. She has had open heart surgery, hip surgery and hospitalized numerous times. It is hard to see your daughter in pain and suffering knowing that there is nothing out there to help her. I am asking as a mother to please fund research as you have with cancer, aids, breast cancer and heart diease. Lupus is a life threatening disease as well and I've seen my daughter close to death many times. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!! Time is running out!!!!!!!!!!!

Lupus deserves more attention, a cure should be worked on!! There should be more gov/t funding and angencies working to find a cure for this dreadful disease. Women die too youn beause of this.

The only way we as a society will ever find safety from disease is by lots of research. We absolutely need the help of Congress to open their eyes to the need for more research on illnesses such as Lupus.

While I do not know anything about Lupus, I am always open to learning more. I feel we can reasonably hope to conquer the ravage of disease by challenging ourselves to learn all we can.
