Molly's Fund Fighting Lupus
PORTLAND, OR, November 17, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Millions suffer from this painful, debilitating disease, that is more common than most diseases, yet is one of the least recognized - it's lupus. An autoimmune disorder that allows the body to ravage itself, thinking that normal organs and tissues are invading foreign bodies ... it's frightening, unbelievably painful at times, and without a cure. This disease primarily strikes women, for reasons unknown, and one local Portland woman with lupus is working tirelessly for the lupus community for a cure, for awareness. Molly McCabe started
Molly's Fund Fighting Lupus, and she is asking those who have family members, friends, loved ones or someone they know with lupus to give a donation, a gift, so she can continue her fight. Fight lupus with a gift of hope! Please visit
www.MollysFund.org to donate and make a difference.
Molly and her foundation are asking for donations during the Holiday Season to continue their hard work of raising awareness about the disease, continuing their monthly support groups, their online referral system, lobbying efforts with state and local officials, and educating doctors and nurses about the disease.
The hard truth about lupus is that it is more common than leukemia, multiple sclerosis, cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy combined. More than 1.5 million Americans suffer from this autoimmune disease, yet it is one of the least recognized and difficult to diagnose - and there is no cure. Lupus symptoms include fevers, intense fatigue, loss of appetite, constant rashes, hair loss, swollen glands, sensitivity to light, joint and chest pains, and ulcers in the mouth and nose.
Most recently, Molly's Fund Fighting Lupus followed two courageous and amazing women, both mothers, who have lupus and are trying to raise their families. This heart wrenching video looks inside their lives and explains why lupus is "hidden" and unknown, and why these two women struggle and their unyielding hope for a cure
