The Lupus Foundation of Jamaica (LFJ) is mobilizing support across Jamaica for our “Wear Purple for Lupus” campaign, kicking off the global fight against lupus by participating in the "Wear Purple for Lupus" campaign on Friday, May 9, 2025.
This initiative is part of the observance of World Lupus Day on May 10, with efforts to increase awareness, promote early detection, and support those affected by the disease.
