Our Science Needs Your Story

Breakthroughs in research are unlocking the potential to turn the very complexity of lupus—its heterogeneity—into a cure. It’s an exciting new frontier. It’s a revolutionary approach.

Our success needs you—in the center of all we do. Hear from three active lupus advocates as they share why HOPE is the first word they associate with the LRA—the hope of community, results, and the power of being heard. And Albert Roy, President and CEO, describes how LRA is mobilizing the community to free the world of lupus by turning its very complexity to its cure.

Dedicated to Lupus Research

Our funding and work with the community have led to discoveries that are improving diagnosis and therapies while enabling researchers to turn complexity to cure. Yesterday, combatting lupus was a mystery. Today, thanks to the generosity of many, we have a clear strategy to move forward that builds upon a strong foundation of success.

But your help is critical for us to go further – to ensure we accelerate drug discovery and ultimately find a cure.
