Lupus patient raises awareness through music

. However against all odds, this beautiful and talented songstress did not just sit back and feel pity for herself. Ditirafalo decided to take advantage of her situation and raise awareness about Lupus disease, inspire and motivate people with the same challenge to believe in themselves and never give up in life by sharing her journey with Lupus and how she managed to live with the condition.

Lupus is a rare chronic condition/disease which affects any part of the body like the brain, kidneys, joints or skin. The immune system that is supposed to protect the body becomes over active then attacks normal organs. In Ditirafalo's case , it affected her joints and she was confined to a wheel chair for six months.
