Welcome to the Lupus Foundation
of Minnesota. Our mission is to serve those affected by lupus,
raise awareness and fund research in an ongoing effort to improve
the lives of others.
Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can be challenging to diagnose. The illness is also sometimes difficult to manage as patients tend to experience modest (occasionally severe), but usually temporary, compromises related to their illness. Through timely diagnosis and proper treatment, many people who are afflicted with lupus learn to live fulfilling lives.
The Foundation, over its thirty year history, has aspired to help people attain a better quality of life while still maintaining a realistic grasp on their lupus.
The organization has always shown an intense commitment to research including more than $750,000 channeled to lupus genetics research in just the last five years!
Our website exists to serve everyone who has been touched by lupus: patients, family, friends, researchers and donors. Our aim is to meet the various needs of people who are approaching the Lupus Foundation for information and support. This website is a valuable tool for people to learn more details about the Foundation’s purpose and activities. This website is also a good way to learn about medical research and our efforts to raise important funds to support the study of lupus and its genetics. We hope that you will visit the website often and use it as a valuable resource.
