I'm a UCIrvine student from California, Irvine. I am putting together the third annual Fashion for Lupus and other autoimmune diseases. Please visit www.careforautoimmunity.info,www.fashionforlupus.eventbrite.com, or search Fashion for Lupus on youtube.com to find out more information.
For this year's show, we are aiming to have a theme of "Journey through Lupus." We really are trying to recruit patients, their families, their friends, and their physicians from the area to be interviewed by our student videographer. If you are not in the area but would be interested in doing something like this and think that you can find someone (perhaps family members or friends) to do the videography and send us the results that would also be unbelievably helpful! We want your Journey through Lupus to show to our guests and to let them know what it really means to live your life with Lupus. We want to touch everyone's hearts and show them that there is also hope! We want to address the issues and mention that there is a lot of work being done that some of our fashion show guests can contribute to. We want to give you a chance to let them know what they can do!!! If you or anyone you know might be willing to share with us their story and help us make a video narrative of the Journey through Lupus to help raise awareness for Lupus, please message me or post on the comment wall.
We also, always accept personal stories (essays, poems, home videos, etc) to display on our website under the Autoimmune Diseases tab (which we are hoping to expand)! Your story could be posted here anonomously if you wish.
If you or your friends and family are in the Orange County, CA area and would like to help out with the annual Fashion for Lupus, please message me and let me know! Our team can always use a new perspective and an extra set of giving hands :)
Thank you all for your continuous strength.
