May is Lupus Awareness Month and I haven’t really done much to get the word out. Yeah, sure, I have a blog and all, but there are other ways to get the word out about lupus.

The Lupus Foundation of America has quite a few suggestions on what you can do to help spread awareness, including sending an informative eCard to friends and folks that may not know about lupus.

They also have a number of ads that can be placed in newpapers or magazines, or online like the one below.

Even if you don’t have a blog or have the extra cash lying around to place ads in newspapers and magazines, you can still help spread the word about lupus by just mentioning it to someone at work, or while you’re waiting in line at the store. Sure, you might think that they don’t care or aren’t interested, but you never know. Give people a chance. They may surprise you.

For my own part, I’m going to send out some of those eCards, print out a couple of informational fliers for my office, and make sure that I have joined The Lupus Foundation of America’s cause on FaceBook.
