Hey, I'm Ellen! Flare Family is dedicated to empowering individuals navigating Rheumatoid Arthritis and other chronic diseases by educating, fostering a supportive community, and promoting self-advocacy. Diagnosed at 18, I've spent my adult life figuring out how to live a life I love while managing this totally life-changing disease. I've made a lot of mistakes, but I've learned valuable lessons and I'm excited to help anyone who needs it.
My mission is to cultivate a space where chronic illness patients feel understood, supported, and equipped with the knowledge and resources to effectively manage their health journey.
Being part of Flare Family means you serve as an advocate, educator, and ally, committed to helping others embrace a beautiful life despite the collective challenges we face.
