The Lupus Magazine - Lupus Association QLD in Australia Walks for World Lupus Awareness

Aug. 1, 2010 - PRLog -- The Lupus Magazine and The Lupus Association Queensland will taking part in a walk for lupus this August.  Lupus is basically an unknown condition in Australia and TLM and LAQ hope to make a difference in Australia and even worldwide.

"If our walk can make a headline in America, Europe, Asia or any other place in the world, well that's another place where lupus may not have got a mention if it wasn't for this walk" explained Geoff Thomas, editor of The Lupus Magazine.

The LAQ is a non-profit support network for those in Australia, however they have friends all over the globe.

Lupus is a chronic auto-immune condition which can be debilitating and even life-threatening. Lupus affects one in every 700 Australians and is more common than Multiple Sclerosis, Sickle Cell Anaemia, HIV, Cerebral Palsy and Cystic Fibrosis combined. Despite its prevalence throughout the community it is widely misunderstood, and lupus sufferers are often misdiagnosed or live without a diagnosis for lengthy periods of time. There is no cure for lupus, and relieving medications can cause further health problems. For further information, please refer to our website; http://www.lupusqld.org.au/

Lupus Association Queensland (LAQ) dreams of a world without lupus, and its members are actively involved in seeing that dream become a reality. LAQ is an organisation consisting completely of individuals who have or are affected by lupus. We do not have staff, bureaucrats, or anyone involved who does not understand lupus and its possible devastating effects.
