Hi my name is Rounak and I'm an HS Patient. I love cooking, it's my way of getting away from the pain. I usually pair it with some tunes.

My name is Athena and I am a patient living with HS. My husband passed away from Kidney Disease this year and in the months since, I find myself hiking any chance I get. Mother Nature, my dog and my best friends have been the best therapy for my broken heart. I’m also a pro at Mario Kart Tour and my obsession is reflected in the Screen Time report that iPhone gives you every week. My passion is HS Advocacy. I am a Director for Hope for HS and the Patient Lead for the Hershey Chapter. The support groups are the most rewarding work I’ve ever done. I spent years without a voice for my HS. In these groups I found mine and now I get to help others find theirs. ⁠ ⁠

I just cry and let it out and then I pick myself up and I say “You got this, girl!”

Hi! I'm Kelly and I'm the Surgical Team Lead and an LPN student that works in community Dermatology at Symmetry. HS is truly a passion in our office. The rest of my time is spent paddle boarding and hanging with my dog, Jack.

Hi, my name is Paula and my youngest daughter has HS. I enjoy reading and travelling the world.⁠

My main way of trying to stay positive is being around the ones I love and talking about any problems I may be having. I’ve discussed my condition with quite a few people. The reason I do it is because I know that discussing my situation could help someone else and/or spread awareness.
