🦋 #WorldLupusDay is coming to an end!
❤️ Thank you all for the support you have shown throughout this important day, as people around the world have come together to raise awareness of the impact lupus can have.
🌈 At Lupus Europe, we believe there is something very important we also need to show the world: our vitality, our energy, and our will to enjoy life, take part, contribute, and be heard.
🌟 Our vision is a fulfilling life for all people with lupus in Europe, until we reach a world without lupus.
😃 We work hard. We show up. We support each other. We all live with lupus in different ways, even if our amazing Lupus Europe family sometimes seems to forget about it when we are at an event, in a meeting, or working together for the organisation.
🦋 Lupus is an invisible illness with many faces. Let’s close this #WorldLupusDay with our hopes, our laughter and our enthusiasm for life.
💬 That is why today we also want to remind you of our #MakeItCount campaign and the 𝐋𝐮𝐩𝐮𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬.
These cards are designed to help people living with lupus prepare for medical appointments, organise their thoughts, identify what matters most, and make consultations more focused and meaningful.
🌺 Visit our website, download the Lupus Consultation Cards, and use them at your next appointment.
www.lupus-europe.org/lupus-consultation-cards/
Because your priorities, questions, and needs deserve a place in every consultation.
Let’s #MakeItCount.
