As someone who is interested in health and science, this is a particularly interesting story to me. Have you ever heard of Lupus before? Would you donate your Kidney to a friend?
I couldn't believe it when I hear about this! I've never heard of Lupus before, I suppose with this happening we will understand Lupus a little more.

She's such a great role model! Although autoimmune diseases suck this is a good reminder that celebrities are just people too and you never know what's going on in someones life. I hope this will help people realise that xx
