Lupus Awareness Challenge May 2017. Will you join me?

Why I am Undertaking This Challenge

Five years ago I was diagnosed with lupus and a host of other illnesses.

In a nutshell...my life was changed.

I decided to undertake this challenge to try to educate the public on what it is like living with an invisible illness like lupus, or other chronic illness. It is my effort to educate the public, family members and friends about lupus.

An Invitation

The 30 Day Chronic Illness Challenge was created by @cfs_zombie. I learned about it when I was doing some research on different challenges that people with chronic illness faced. With Lupus Awareness Month approaching, I felt that this challenge would be an appropriate one to help raise awareness for lupus and chronic illness, in general.

Each day, there is a brand new writing prompt. All topics focus on chronic illness and/or what it is like to live with a chronic illness.

Some people did blog posts. I chose to do a video each day.

Each day a new video will be posted, detailing the prompt of that day.

I trust that you will follow, and help me to raise awareness of lupus, and the other chronic illnesses that I live with.
