Lupus LA Draws Star Power from Michael Chiklis, Paula Abdul for "Evening of Love, Light & Laughter" 
Shawn Ryan and CCH Pounder of "The Shield" Honored The Foundation's west-coast division, Lupus LA, hosted its seventh annual "Evening of Love, Light and Laughter" gala to benefit lupus research on May 8, 2007, at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Actor Michael Chiklis, star of The Shield on FX, presented the 2007 Loop Award to the show's Executive Producer, Shawn Ryan, for creating an ongoing storyline of a character living with lupus, and to the drama's co-star, CCH Pounder, for her beautiful performance in that role. America's favorite judge, Paula Abdul, came directly from an American Idol taping just in time to present the Medical Visionary Award to "The Amgen Family of Rheumatologists"-- Brian Kotzin, MD, James Louie, MD, Judy Maddox, MD and Debra Zack, MD. As a special surprise, Abdul added two American Idol tickets to the live auction. The evening also honored Kelly Stone (sister of actress Sharon Stone) with the Michael Wayne Public Service Award, and Gloriana DiCandia, age 15, with the Spirit of Hope Award.

The Cooperative Corner: News from the Lupus Cooperative of New York Lupus and Your Kidneys As you may know, having "systemic" lupus means that the disease can harm almost any organ or tissue in your system--from your heart, to your brain, joints, and skin. But certain parts of your body are more likely than others to get damaged, and your kidneys are among them. In a third of people with lupus, the immune system attacks the kidneys and causes more problems than any other part of this chronic disease--probably because these bean-shaped organs are so important, even though you can't see them or feel them working.
