EverlastJewelry.com is proud to support Lupus LA

Lupus is a wide-spread, commonly misunderstood and misdiagnosed autoimmune disease affecting more than 1.5 million Americans, more than cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, sickle-cell anemia, and cystic fibrosis combined. It attacks primarily young women and turns the body’s immune system against itself. The result is a litany of life-threatening and crippling diseases.

Lupus LA, the West Coast division of the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation, promotes lupus research, awareness, and education, and serves the needs of people with lupus and their families. Lupus LA was founded in 2000 by Daniel Wallace, MD, a renowned physician, author and attending physician in the division of rheumatology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and a clinical professor of medicine at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine. Under his guidance, Lupus LA offers monthly support groups, as well as education programs and workshops throughout Los Angeles County. “Committed to the hope and demonstrated promise of innovative science, Lupus LA partners with the Lupus Research Institute (LRI) to fund novel lupus research that will prevent, treat and cure the complex disease”.- LUPUS LA

During the month of December, 2009, EverlastJewelry.com will donate 5% of all sales to Lupus LA to support their partnership with the LRI to further much needed lupus research. Thanks for helping us support Lupus Research and Awareness! For more information please visit the below:
