Lupus Awareness Month: Georgia sorority shines light on autoimmune disease
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – In a mission to raise awareness about Lupus, a group of women in Georgia is making strides during Lupus Awareness Month. The autoimmune disease, affecting nearly 1.5 million Americans, prompts the immune system to attack healthy tissues and organs, resulting in a range of symptoms. With an estimated 16,000 new cases reported annually, the need for education and support is crucial.
The Gamma Pi Rho Lupus Sorority, comprised of women battling Lupus and other illnesses, is leading the charge in advocacy efforts. Chandra Heard, the Advocacy Chair and founder of the Georgia chapter, emphasizes the importance of spreading awareness and providing support to those affected by the disease. Through their mission of education, support, and service, the sorority aims to make a positive impact in the Lupus community.
