World Lupus Day is observed every year on May 10 to raise awareness and educate people about the effects of Lupus, improve patient care, and support research for a cure. 

Lupus is not just a disease, it is a daily battle for thousands and this day shines a light on this chronic autoimmune condition.

Irrespective of its severity, lupus is deeply misunderstood and can take years to be diagnosed due to its unpredictable symptoms. 

World Lupus Day was established in 2004 by the Lupus Foundation of America during the 7th International Congress on Lupus and Related Diseases in New York City.
