For Lupus Awareness Month this May we are featuring two stories from lupus warriors: Heidi Nielsen and Sunita Mandi.

Heidi shared her story during our Lupus Ontario Gala speaking about how important it is to be your own advocate, while outlining her various symptoms and treatments. “We must find what works best for our bodies.”

Sunita spoke about her journey, focusing on the challenges of the past two years. Advocating for herself, trusting her rheumatologist, exploring new treatments, and leaning on her support team has brought her to a healthier place in her lupus journey.

Join us for these fascinating stories.
