Dedication
"If people with lupus won't help each other - who will?"
- Lavina Townes
This kit is dedicated to the memory of Lavina Townes. As a long-standing Board member of Lupus Canada and the President of Lupus New Brunswick, Lavina made a profound contribution to both organizations.
Lavina will always be remembered for her hard work, dedication and delightful sense of humour.
We also wish to acknowledge the commitment of the health care professionals, family members and other caregivers who contribute to the empowerment of persons with lupus.
