Meet Allie Rich

Allie, a remarkable young woman, faced the unexpected challenge of lupus at the age of 12, leading to a series of health struggles. Despite setbacks, she maintained her sense of humor and embraced a positive mindset. She successfully navigated through high school, battling lupus, hair loss, and academic challenges.

Unfortunately, a recent lupus-related complication, transverse myelitis, left her paralyzed from the waist down. She went through a month and a half of inpatient treatment, including chemotherapy, to try and get the inflammation to go down. After being transported from Utah to Arizona to be close to family, she is now undergoing intensive rehabilitation. Allie's unwavering faith, determination and positivity continue to inspire those around her!
