In the month of August we are going to be targeting the 4 major networks' news departments. Our last pick is FOX news. You can visit the website at: http://www.foxnews.com/ We have written the following email to FOX news to ask them to do stories about Lupus. We encourage all of you to write to them as well. You can tell them your story, give them Lupus information and stats and encourage them to cover this important topic. We also encourage you to write your local FOX station this week as well. Find their website by typing your city name and FOX in a search engine. Here is the FOX news email: yourcomments@foxnews.com Dear FOX news: I am writing to you today to ask you to do more stories about a disease that is killing and disabling thousands of Americans every year. Millions suffer from this disease, while the FDA has not approved a new treatment in over 4 decades. That disease is Lupus and it desperately needs the awareness your shows can give! Lupus affects an estimated 1.5 million Americans, 90% of them are women. Lupus also affects African Americans 3 times more than Caucasians. For such a common and potentially deadly disease it is dreadfully under publicized, misunderstood and lets just be honest, ignored. This disease is often disabling and almost always life altering for not only the patient, but also for their families. It has been over 40 years since the FDA has approved a new treatment for Lupus. That is inexcusable when the current treatments can be just as debilitating as the disease itself. Almost everybody has heard of Lupus and even knows somebody who has it, but few actually know what it is. October is National Lupus Awareness Month and is just one example of a great time to include stories about this disease. There are so many angles this story can be told from! Stories are needed about the impact it can have on relationships, finances, the difficulties of dealing w/ chronic pain and illness, the difficulties we have with Social Security, celebrities with Lupus, poor health care due to uneducated doctors or financial burdens and so much more! We hope you will consider shedding some light on this disease! We will be asking our support network of Lupus patients and their families to let you know how much this story needs to be told as well. You can read my personal story at: http://cure4lupus.org/kendras_story.htm If you want to read more about Lupus you can visit our website at http://Cure4Lupus.org, The Lupus Foundation of America's website at Lupus.org or the Alliance for Lupus Research's website at LupusResearch.org.
