About Lupus
It is estimated that approximately 30,000 people are affected in Tennessee and 1.5 million people are affected by lupus in the United States alone. Lupus affects mostly minority women of childbearing age, but can affect anyone including men and children. Lupus is a widespread disease that causes the immune system to become hyperactive and lose the capacity to distinguish the body's healthy cells from foreign invaders. Unfortunately, there is no cure for lupus.

About M.A.F.T.
The Mission of M.A.F.T. is to Educate the public about motorcycle awareness issues around the State of Tennessee, our goal being to reduce the number of accidents through our education programs by involving all drivers of motor vehicles as well as motorcycle riders.
