Step Up For Lupus By Purchasing These Limited Edition Banana Peel Flip Flops

May is Lupus Awareness Month so I’m happy to join the “Step Up For Lupus” campaign which was launched last May 3, 2023 at the Banana Peel Trinoma branch. Leading the event was Atty. Emmeline Aglipay-Villar and Dr. Geraldine Zamora from the Hope For Lupus Foundation, a non-profit organization that aims to promote the early detection and proper treatment of lupus by increasing public awareness about this rare and frequently misunderstood disease.

Banana Peel, a concept store that was the first of its kind in bringing trendy and comfortable flip-flops to the Philippines, and Hope for Lupus Foundation, have come together this year to introduce a special limited edition flip flop collection with their "Step Up for Lupus" campaign. Being a Lupus warrior myself and having gone through so many health challenges since I was first diagnosed with Lupus back in 2010, I was more than happy to join and support this noble advocacy.

Since 2002, Banana Peel has been committed to its promise to address the need for comfortable and trendy flip-flops in the local market. Along with that, they have also been actively contributing to society by supporting non-profit organizations and charitable institutions to make a meaningful impact throughout the years. Their Trinoma branch served as the venue for the launch of the Step Up For Lupus campaign which was attended by influencers and supporters of the foundation.

So what exactly is Lupus? Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that impacts millions of people across the globe, many of whom are women in their 20s to 40s, although it can also affect men, the elderly, and children. Some symptoms of the disease include joint pain, rashes, unexplained fever, hair loss, and in worst cases, can involve the kidneys, heart, lungs, and even the brain. Since lupus is one of medicine's great mimics and mysteries, there is still insufficient awareness about it, so many individuals face delays in diagnosis and are usually even misdiagnosed, similar to what I experienced before.

Welcoming me at the event was Dr. Geraldine “Ging” Zamora, one of the primary movers of the Hope For Lupus Foundation. Hosting the event was Trisha Duncan, a Lupus survivor herself and who I met before through one of my friends. The main purpose of this joint venture with Banana Peel is to generate funds to support the Hope for Lupus Foundation's efforts in assisting lupus patients, enhancing public knowledge about the illness, and promoting their advocacy through different projects.

The President and Founder of Hope for Lupus Foundation, Atty. Emmeline Aglipay-Villar, collaborated with Banana Peel to work together for the lupus community. Villar is also a lupus warrior. At 25, she was diagnosed with lupus, and she bravely turned her fear and weakness into a source of hope where people like her can have a support system in their fight against the mysterious lifelong condition. This is the reason why she established the organization.

A contract signing was held during the event to officially launch the partnership. This limited-edition flip-flop collection features unique designs representing the lupus community's strength and resilience.

The "Step Up for Lupus" Collection includes ladies and men's styles with unique designs that honor the fortitude and strength of lupus fighters. Each pair of flip flops cost only P600 and Banana Peel will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the sales of this collection to the Hope for Lupus Foundation.

In supporting this collaboration, customers will have an excellent opportunity to make a positive impact on the lupus community while shopping for a stylish and comfortable pair of slippers. These are available at all Banana Peel branches nationwide including their online platforms.

I went and purchased a couple of flip flops also for myself and to give to some of the friends. These two are my favorite varaints and I can wear them comfortably and fashionably during my travels and at the beach.

There is still no known cure for lupus. However, it can be managed and controlled with proper information and medical supervision. With your support, you can be part of the collective effort to provide vital attention to the disease and empower those affected by this rare condition.

Don't miss your chance to be part of the collective effort in building a world without lupus. Visit the Banana Peel physical stores, or head over to www.bananapeel.net and Banana Peel official online platforms like Lazada and Shopee to purchase a pair that will bring a difference to the lupus community, not just during Lupus Awareness Month but throughout the year.
