Autoimmune diseases are found in 1 of every 5 people. 20% of the population walks around carrying the weight of an autoimmune disease, but little is spoken about it. With the better-known diseases like Lupus, Crohn’s disease, Addison’s disease, Type I Diabetes, Celiac disease, and Rheumatoid Arthritis the world gets a glimpse at what the body does to itself when its immune system attacks its own healthy cells. Still, there are more than 80 different and rare autoimmune diseases that affect the world's population. There may not be a specific “cure”  to autoimmune diseases but in this lifetime we hope people can come together and talk about the severity of it all. Through education, advocacy, and fundraising, we believe we can bring awareness and support to the autoimmune disease community.
