June is Men’s Health Month, a time to raise awareness about the health challenges facing men, including those living with lupus. While lupus is often thought of as a disease that affects women,1 in 10 people with lupus is a man. Because lupus is frequently overlooked in men, diagnosis can be delayed and complications may be more severe.

As we kick off Men's Health Month, we’re proud to honor Reeve Bright as one of our Men on a Mission.

Reeve’s reason is his wife, Anne, who has lived with lupus for most of her life. Through every challenge, Reeve has stood beside her with love, strength, and unwavering support. “Her journey inspires me daily to take action for her and for the 5 million people living with lupus.”

This month, Reeve is raising funds to help end lupus, and you can support his mission by donating here: https://bit.ly/4u5bsLF

We’d also love to celebrate the men on a mission in your life. 👇Comment below who shows up with love and support. A husband, dad, brother, son, friend, or caregiver who makes a difference every day.

Together, we can move closer to life without lupus. 💜
