Lupus Society of Alberta

For the LSA, the grace, flexibility, and complexity of the willow tree have come to represent the qualities people develop as they meet the challenges posed by lupus.

Just thinking about the beauty and endurance of the willow - bending but not breaking in the face of strong winds - can be an empowering image for those whose lives are affected by lupus.

The faces of lupus ....

Lupus is called 'the disease with a thousand faces' because the symptoms and course of the disease differ so much from person to person. Lupus affects people of all ages, genders and ethnic backgrounds.

Any face could be the face of lupus.

Imagine Canada is a group that supports charities and nonprofits so they can, in turn, support the Canadians and communities they serve. Imagine Canada's Ethical Code Program sets standards for charitable organizations to manage and report their financial affairs responsibly. This is important because, as a donor, you are entitled to transparency and the greatest impact possible for your donation.
