I founded AiArthritis in 2011 after being the Mystery Patient for 2 years. As a result of delayed diagnosis and access to treatment I was unable to achieve remission (but there's still hope!) and part of the problem was lack of awareness and education. The funds raised during this campaign enable our organization to fight year around for more education - particularly that these diseases are "AUTO" (full body, autoimmune or autoinflammatory diseases, with many symptoms like fatigue, fevers, rashes, organ involvement) + Inflammatory Arthritis (different from the common form of arthritis, it starts from inflammation triggered by the immune system). Please give today to help AiArthritis change the stories of tomorrow!
