I received this today from my local chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America and since I always want to do whatever I can to raise awareness of this devastating disease, I thought I should pass it on:
Wayne’s story:
Almost four years ago my wife, Karla, was diagnosed with Lupus. There has been very little research and development for this disease and no new treatment drugs have come out in the last 20 years or longer.
Toyota Racing is sponsoring a contest in which entrants design a racecar that the public will vote on. The winning car will serve as a pace car for NASCAR’s All-Star race in Charlotte, NC later this year. I have designed an entry to raise awareness for Lupus and the need for a cure. I would ask that all our employees take 1 minute out of their day to vote for my entry in order to raise awareness for Lupus. You can vote once a day from each computer until March 5th. I have forwarded a message similar to this to everyone in my address book from my personal computer, as well as posting the link on Facebook and encourage everyone to please do the same. Help bring the message of Lupus Awareness to millions of people this May!
Here is the link to vote:

Remember, you can vote once a day until March 5th.
Thanks for your help and support,
