Copyright To "Lupus Foundation of America": "Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body (skin, joints, and/or organs inside the body). Chronic means that the signs and symptoms tend to last longer than six weeks and often for many years. In lupus, something goes wrong with your immune system, which is the part of the body that fights off viruses, bacteria, and germs ("foreign invaders," like the flu). Normally our immune system produces proteins called antibodies that protect the body from these invaders. Autoimmune means your immune system cannot tell the difference between these foreign invaders and your body's healthy tissues ("auto" means "self") and creates autoantibodies that attack and destroy healthy tissue. These autoantibodies cause inflammation, pain, and damage in various parts of the body." Help those in need this year by donating any extra holiday spending cash to a local Lupus charity, or to the Lupus Foundation of America. Help those who cannot fully experience this holiday season by giving them a shimmer of hope. Visit www.lupus.org and hit "donate" to make any contribution that you possibly can. Any amount can help. Thanks for the watch, and thanks for donating. And thank you Project4Awesome!
