​GIVE LUPUS ROYAL TREATMENT
Meredith's Story
The term warrior can be defined as an individual that is fearless in their pursuit to conquer adversity and the obstacles encountered in one's daily journey through life. A warrior does not accept defeat without a battle. Despite the stumbling blocks that may surface, a warrior understands that God provides all of the equipment necessary to initiate and endure battle. There are many warriors that we encounter on a daily basis. Jade, our creator, had the pleasure of becoming acquanted with an amazing warrior by the name of Meredith King.
​
​A woman of distinction, positivity, courage, and strength -- these traits describe our first Royal Warrior! Meredith is the epitome of what all individuals should strive to become! Determination is only ONE characteristic of Meredith, through motivation and encouragement from family and her niece, she also possesses the positive, energetic spirit that many lack dealing with Lupus. When asked, "What makes you a fighter?" .....She kindly replied:
​
"I consider myself to be a fighter because I have never given up, I will not lupus take over my life & I have found the blessings in every trial&
tribulation. Every day is a struggle & a fight for me, but I press forward. I have learned so much about lupus over the years that I have been
able to better myself from this diagnosis. I work as a Patient Care Tech at a pediatric hospital & attend school full time. I plan to finish school
with my BSN & work as a pediatric med flight RN. I have never let lupus slow me down. I have goals to attain & a life to live, lupus will not
stop me."
​
There are many other Lupus warriors with similar stories. However, if everyone adopts the famous Association of African-American Students, AAAS, quote: "Each one reach one. Each one teach one. What you do not know? You must learn. Once you have learned....You must teach" we can continue to build Lupus awareness that builds, uplifts, and molds future Royal Warriors!
​
We truly appreciate Meredith's strength and determination! Her efforts to spread lupus awareness and help those in need truly humble those who surround her. She is an inspiration to each of us and we are proud to recognize her as a Royal Warrior!
