Alliance for Lupus Research

About Me



The Alliance for Lupus Research (ALR) is a national voluntary health organization based in New York City that was founded in 1999 and is chaired by Robert Wood Johnson IV, a member of the founding family of Johnson & Johnson. The ALR is the largest private source of funds for lupus research in the world and to date, the ALR has committed over $50 million to research. The ALR's mission is to prevent, treat and eventually cure lupus. Because our Board of Directors pays for all administrative and fundraising costs, 100% of your contributions to the ALR goes to support lupus research programs. Together, we will find a cure!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The Alliance for Lupus Research invites you to "Walk With Us," to cure Lupus in one of the thirty cities where walks are currently held.
