What is different about the Alliance for Lupus Research?
The main difference is our 100% focus on research – that’s all we do, and we like to think we do it very well. Through our mission, we are charged to find better treatments and ultimately prevent and cure systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, or lupus), a debilitating autoimmune disease, by supporting medical research. Other lupus groups offer education and patient support, and we are glad this network exists for those affected by the disease. However, we believe the solution to lupus is increased biomedical research into the disease, and all our efforts reflect this belief. Our Board of Directors pays all fundraising and administrative costs, so 100% of all donations to the ALR including donations through our Walk with Us to Cure Lupus program can go to support lupus research programs.
