I am Brionna, Captain of the wonderful, 2 B's Lupie Groupies for the Walk to End Lupus Now in Harrisburg, PA. I want YOU to join my team!!!! The walk is on September 21, 2024 at City Island from 9am-12pm! If you can’t physically come that’s okay you can still join my team and walk a mile at home! 

I was diagnosed with Lupus in March 2018, while living in Nicaragua. It was one of the loneliest and most isolating moments of my life. But it has also been one of the most defining moments of my life as well.

I am still learning to forgive and love myself for not becoming the person I wanted to be; but since being diagnosed and discovering the LFA I have had the amazing opportunity to become not only a volunteer for the LFA, but a lupus advocate as well which has helped me embrace my lupus. Prior to the LFA, I did not publicly discuss my diagnosis, it made me feel weak and helpless, but now I proudly educate others at conventions, in the workplace, in public, on social media, etc. It gave me my purpose back, my pain was not pointless, I was not alone anymore, and I could help others.

Thank you to all those who support us lupus warriors – we value you and love you; never underestimate the positive impact you can have in someone's life, no matter how small. One day, hopefully we can say, we used to have lupus, until then remember you are not alone, and we are fighting lupus together!
