My personal message:

Hello, my name is Rachel Rabinowitz. I'm 17 years old and I live in Westchester, New York. I, and around 1.5 million Americans, have an autoimmune disease known as Lupus.

Your immune system is your body's natural defense against disease. When you have an autoimmune disease like lupus,  your immune system doesn't work properly. Your immune system cannot tell the difference between foreign invaders (viruses, bacteria, germs...etc.) and healthy tissue. The antibodies that your body is supposed to protect you with attack your own body. Inflammation occurs within the body and, though most people only experience symptoms in a few body parts, it can affect your skin, joints, kidneys, brain, heart, lungs, and blood.  

I am so ecstatic that I have reached my goal of $10,000, and have even gone past it. Thank you, thank you, thank you, to all those that contributed to it!!

Thank You!  

P.S. Read about BENLYSTA, a drug making history for people living with lupus! http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/158066.php
