AARDA (American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association)

AARDA (American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness, funding research, and providing support for people affected by autoimmune diseases—conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues. These diseases include lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and others. AARDA aims to improve early diagnosis, treatment options, and patient quality of life through advocacy, education, and research initiatives. By connecting patients, healthcare providers, and researchers, AARDA works to advance understanding and find cures for these complex and often misunderstood conditions.
