           SUMMARY  :  Designates May 2012 as Lupus Awareness Month.   
          Specifically,  this resolution  makes the following legislative 
          findings: 

          1)Lupus is a chronic, complex, and often life-threatening 
            autoimmune disease; and, more people have lupus than AIDS, 
            cerebral palsy, sickle cell anemia and cystic fibrosis 
            combined.

          2)Lupus strikes women in their prime, when they are 15 to 44 
            years of age; and it affects all aspects of their lives 
            including their family, friends, coworkers, employers and the 
            community.

          3)Early diagnosis and proper treatment are critical to the 
            improvement of the quality of life and survival rate of lupus 
            sufferers; and, increased public awareness, education, and 
            research are key to winning the battle against lupus.
