About Me



I got my Myspace layout from pYzam .

With nearly 300 chapters, branches and support groups in 32 states, the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) is the foremost national nonprofit voluntary health organization dedicated to finding the causes of and cure for lupus and providing support, services and hope to all people affected by lupus. Research, education, and patient services are at the heart of LFA's programs.
