When I first started volunteering with Lipodystrophy United, I had no idea how deeply this organization would shape my life. What began as a simple desire to help quickly turned into a meaningful journey of advocacy, learning, and community building.
From day one, I was given real responsibilities and trusted to contribute. Whether I was helping with outreach, supporting events, or writing content, I always felt that my work mattered.
What stood out most was LU’s unwavering commitment to the community. Everything was built with the patient voice at the center. I saw firsthand how much effort went into connecting individuals who often felt isolated, providing accurate and accessible medical information, and partnering with researchers and clinicians to advance care.
Volunteering with LU didn’t just give me experience—it gave me purpose. I learned how powerful it can be when a rare disease organization puts people before prestige and truly listens. That foundation inspired me to stay involved, take on more responsibility, and eventually grow into a leadership role.
Lipodystrophy United is more than a nonprofit, it’s a movement. And I feel incredibly lucky that I got to be part of it from the very beginning.
