Your GRRG’s have been involved with the West Michigan Lupus Alliance since 2006. Lupus has affected many GRRG families and is a charity close to our hearts. Please join us in support for services and a cure!
Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that is hard to diagnose, difficult to manage and if not treated can become life threatening. In simple terms, lupus develops when the body becomes “allergic to itself.” There is no cure for lupus. Lupus affects adult women 10 times more frequently than men. Lupus is more prevalent than sickle cell anemia, cerebral palsy and cystic fibrosis, yet it is the least known of all major diseases.
