Making a Difference in the Northwest Through Online Advocacy: Molly's Fund Fighting Lupus Supports Those with Lupus

    PORTLAND, OR, March 11, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Those who suffer from lupus in the Northwest need to know there are great resources available with Oregon based Molly's Fund Fighting Lupus. Even those outside of the area, and located anywhere in the country and beyond will welcome the fact they are not alone. Molly's Fund has created a dynamic web site, Facebook page, blogs, and more that give current and valuable information on a daily basis to those who suffer from lupus.

Molly's Fund Fighting Lupus is located at www.MollysFund.org and Facebook.com/MollysFund

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects over 1.4 million Americans, and more than 5 million world wide, and the symptoms include pain, rashes, and intense fatigue. Those who live outside of major metropolitan areas face particular lack of support due to their location, but even urban located support groups have struggled with regular meetings due to lupus' unpredictable nature and flair ups for those who suffer.

Molly's Fund online presence allows for anyone with internet access to learn more about lupus, get updates on treatments, challenges of care, and dealing with medical and insurance. "We know there are moms with kids who need support, women suffering from depression and pain - who need information, and those with families of lupus sufferers that want a place to refer a family member - we are that organization," noted Molly McCabe, founder of Molly's Fund Fighting Lupus, who also has the disease.

"For many people with lupus, getting to a local support group is simply not possible, and being able to connect with others is vitally important from the comfort of their homes," said McCabe, "MollysFund.org is changing all that, we are becoming one of the top lupus support organizations in the Northwest, and we invite you and your family to visit our site, and become part of our growing community."

About Molly's Fund Fighting Lupus:
Molly's Fund Fighting Lupus is a lupus awareness nonprofit, whose mission is to educate the public and the medical community about lupus, to push for earlier, life-saving diagnoses for those afflicted, and to spur governments and foundations to fund research toward a cure.
