Nuru Mugambi wasn’t meant to live beyond 40 years of age. She was to die seven years after being diagnosed with a rare and severe autoimmune disease called Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome or Lupus.
On August 5, she was admitted to the Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi. She never made it out. The final stretch of her illness seemed to have been characterised by hospitalisation, fundraisers, and prayers, easily casting her as a ‘warrior” or a poster child for Lupus.
