WLF – World Lupus Day overview

12974286_972287666195190_3204235459714330691_n

Here is an overview of the common World Lupus Day campaign compiled by the World Lupus Federation on the extent and spread of the joint World Lupus Day Campaign.

Duane Peters, who has been coordinating the WLF campaign, has told us that the response received has been excellent, especially the results of social media efforts.  News about the global lupus survey conducted by GSK was shared by many people through Facebook.  Here is a link that shows the feed of people posting about World Lupus Day AND the survey.

The response on Twitter for World Lupus Day was also very good. The level of spontaneous response that has accompanied the postings of the WLF and its affiliated members is excellent.  Millions of impressions for lupus.

WLF social media posts on Facebook generated 657,000 reactions and 81,000 engagements.  Posts that specifically referenced the survey data generated 398,000 reactions and 30,000 engagements.  Total reach through Twitter was 23-million, generating 5-million impressions.  There were a number of important Twitter and Facebook posts including Huffington Post, Mashable and Julian Lennon, along with many medical institutions, corporations, and other nonprofit and lupus patient groups.  #worldlupusday was very prominent on 5/10.

Pickup on the survey release by leading news outlets was great.  From all indications, it appears the media outreach was very successful.   Some big hits include Yahoo Finance and Reuters Online.  Combined they represent a potential audience of over 100-million website visitors.

There were great placements on Lupus News Day, Medical News Today, and RTT News:

http://lupusnewstoday.com/2016/05/10/lupus-survey-story/

Traffic to the World Lupus Day website during the three-day per was great, with a 177% increase over the previous year.  Traffic to the lupus.org website also was up 71% for the period.  There were 10,700 views of the survey release on our lupus.org  website.  Total combined website visits during the period were 123,093.

There were 10,700 views of the survey news release on our lupus.org  website during the three days. This would be in addition to the views generated through the online news posting of the Marketwired distribution I had shared with you earlier today.

There were many events around the world in observance of World Lupus Day.  Many of these were shared on the World Lupus Federation Facebook news feed.   The WLF could only share a very small fraction of the World Lupus Day posts but this feed provides a very nice cross section of activities conducted on May 10.

    ✅ Yes! As many of you guessed, the October theme of the #kicklupus campaign is... vaccines!

    💉 Vaccination is a crucial topic, especially for individuals dealing with lupus, as lupus has been proven to make people more susceptible to infections and complications. Therefore, promoting vaccination is paramount in the care and overall well-being of people with lupus.

    🛡️ Vaccines play a vital role in bolstering the immune response against various diseases, reducing the risk of infections and their potential severity. For individuals with lupus, getting vaccinated can be a game-changer, providing added protection against infections that could be especially challenging for their immune systems.

    Join us in the #kicklupus challenge! Share how you prevent infections in lupus. Your experiences and insights are valuable in creating a supportive community and raising awareness about the importance of proactive measures in managing lupus effectively.

    Together, we can make a difference! 💜

    💎 In line with our commitment to spreading awareness and information, we invite you to explore the importance of vaccination in patients with lupus through the #Lupus100 website. This initiative offers resources and educational materials in multiple European languages, facilitating access to critical information about lupus and vaccinations ⤵️

    Thank you! Great moment indeed.

    Stop smoking

    I am so delighted to have found this page, very supportive and informative. I was diagnosed with SLE lupus in 2015, my symptoms started out with severe fatigue, poor balance, numbness, heat intolerance, and anxiety. I was unable to go back to work, so I tried analgesics for about 6 years. Tried every shot available, and all made me sick. In November 2023, I started on lupus Herbal formula from www. multivitamincare .org , the treatment worked incredibly for my SLE condition. I used the Natural Lupus Herbal formula for a total time period of 3 months, it totally reversed lupus. I had a total decline of all symptoms including joint stiffness, ulcers, and others. Sometimes, I totally forget I ever had Lupus.
