“Lupus is such a mysterious autoimmune disease, that even health professionals have difficulty diagnosing it. Currently, it takes an average of 6 years to diagnose a patient with lupus. By the time a diagnosis is made, a patient has usually seen approximately FIVE (5) different health professionals. Yet, every 32 minutes someone is diagnosed with lupus. The time is NOW to find the cause and cure for lupus. Be the reason we find the cure and walk with us!” - Dawn T. Semanko, president & CEO, Lupus Foundation of America, Wisconsin Chapter
