Designed by Dana Taylor

Dana’s advocacy began after nearly two decades of misdiagnosis and unanswered questions. She received her lupus diagnosis in 2020 and later survived lupus-related seizures that required intensive care. After relearning how to walk, she transformed her experiences into a mission of service and hope.

Dana has served the lupus community through numerous statewide and national volunteer roles. Her work includes advocacy on Capitol Hill, facilitating a virtual lupus support group, hosting an in-person Walk to End Lupus Now®, participating in the Lupus Research Action Network, and serving as a Speakers Bureau representative.

Dana designed this button to reflect the belief that everyone can help strengthen the lupus community. Meaningful support is not limited to one diagnosis, profession, organization, or type of service.

Anyone can choose to learn more, do more, and help another person feel seen, supported, and understood.

• Advocate • Educate • Understand
