🦋 #WorldLupusDay is coming to an end!

❤️ Thank you all for the support you have shown throughout this important day in which the whole world has raised awareness of the impact that lupus can potentially have 💥.

🌈 However, we at Lupus Europe believe that there is something very important that we also need to show the world: our vitality, our energy, and our will to enjoy life – including our work.

🌟 Our strong vision in a fulfilling life for all people with lupus in Europe, until we have reached a world without lupus.

😃 We always work hard! We all have lupus, though our amazing Lupus Europe family seems to forget about it when we are at an event, a meeting, or are working for the organisation.

🦋 Lupus is an invisible illness with many faces. Let’s close this day with our hopes, our laughter, and our enthusiasm for life.

🌺 Every day, but especially this # WorldLupusDay, we thank all those who stand by our side and show the best face of the 1000 faces lupus has.
