Our Story

Our founder, Madeline Shonka grew up a healthy-sick kid, life with chronic invisible disease was all Maddie ever knew. She was formally diagnosed with Lupus and Narcolepsy with Cataplexy her senior year of high school. The gap in available resources for young adults with chronic illness provided challenges. Navigating college at Wichita State it became obvious the conversation surrounding invisible disabilities was almost non-existent. Changing her major from Nursing to Health Management she founded Co-Immunity Foundation the summer of 2019 and has been working tirelessly to make the vision a reality ever since.
