Lauren’s Skydive for Lupus UK

At 17, I was diagnosed with lupus, a life-changing condition that forced me to grow up quicker than I ever imagined. During that time, I faced severe complications that almost took my life, with doctors saying they didn’t know how I survived—I truly cheated death.

Lupus doesn’t just affect the body physically; it challenges you mentally, making everyday activities and even the simplest tasks incredibly tough. Despite this, I’m proud to say I’m now on the better side of things and determined to give back.

This May, I’ll be taking on a skydive to raise money for Lupus UK—a charity that provides vital support to those living with lupus. Their work helps people navigate the challenges of this condition and gives hope when it’s needed most.

Please support me in this exciting but meaningful challenge to help support those suffering with Lupus daily.

Thank you in advance for your contribution.
