Our Mission to Uplift and Unite
Autoimmune conditions are often misunderstood, invisible, and isolating. Especially for children.
At ImmuneTogether, we believe no one should face chronic illness alone
.
Empowerment through:
✔ Community – Safe spaces for connection, empathy, and shared experiences
✔ Education – Easy-to-understand guides, blogs, and events to break down medical complexity
✔ Advocacy – Promoting awareness of pediatric autoimmune illnesses in schools, hospitals, and public spaces
✔ Support – Uplifting families with wellness tips, mental health resources, and peer mentorship programs
⭐️ We envision a world where autoimmune patients feel seen, heard, and celebrated —not overlooked. :)

Our Story 🩵
ImmuneTogether was founded by a teenager who knew, through personal experience, just how invisible and lonely chronic illness can feel.
As someone who had seen the challenges of navigating the healthcare system at a young age, especially around rare or complex conditions, she was struck by how isolating, overwhelming, and confusing that journey could be. While medicine has the power to heal and transform lives, she also saw how easily young patients could be dismissed, misdiagnosed, or left without the support they needed.
She realized the issue wasn’t just the disease but rather the silence.
The lack of community. The absence of youth-focused resources.
And the feeling that no one else understood.
Determined to change that, she started ImmuneTogether: A space built by youth, for youth, to raise awareness about autoimmune conditions and provide support for kids and teens facing diagnosis, treatment, and everyday life with chronic illness.
What began as a small campaign grew quickly into a global youth-led movement, cities, countries, classrooms, and communities, all focused on education, advocacy, and empathy.
Today, ImmuneTogether is helping rewrite the story of autoimmune illness in youth:
from one of confusion and isolation to one of strength, clarity, and connection.
Because every young person deserves to feel seen and because Every story matters.
No one should face autoimmune disease alone.
One story at a time. One voice at a time. Together, we are Immune.
