there really should be an awareness campaign for Lupus....right?
Well, I'm working to change that. My name is Anna and I am a senior at the University of Notre Dame. I'm also a Lupus patient, diagnosed 7 years ago. For my senior thesis project, I want to create an awareness campaign for Lupus; this would include things like magazine ads, billboards, signs for buses and other public transportation, television/radio commercials, etc.
As part of my research, I am interested in talking to as many people as possible - both Lupus patients and those who know someone with Lupus or have a Lupus patient in their family. I want to know what kind of message other Lupus patients would want this awareness campaign to have. While I have a few ideas of my own, I certainly cannot speak for all 2 million of us who deal with this disease on a daily basis.
If you are willing to give your thoughts on what an awareness campaign should or should not be, please post a reply. If you are willing to go into more depth about your Lupus experiences, your diagnosis, how you cope with the disease, etc. please email me at
