March has been declared the autoimmune disease awareness month and Grammy and Dove Award-nominated songwriter and singer Dayna Caddell, who also suffers from the disease, is at the forefront of the campaign to get the condition out in the open where people can talk about it without repercussions.

Dayna Caddell has announced that she's embarking on the AD/#PUSH for Awareness tour to reach out to mostly women who might be in the same boat as her.

 "Unfortunately there is no cure yet, but I intend to share my testimony and God's goodness as long as I'm healthy enough to travel. Autoimmune is my story, not my song," Caddell said in a press release received by BREATHEcast.

The tour, supported by media and entertainment organizations, in conjunction with Forty Entertainment, will stop in several cities, including New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Richmond, Charlotte, Nashville, Atlanta and Los Angeles, where Dayna will share her testimony as well as announce her new project "PUSH," inspired by her fight to stay alive.

Dayna Caddell is certainly not alone. According to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association website, there are about 50 million Americans living with the disease.

It's also among the top leading causes of mortality in female children and women up to 64 years of age.

A week ago, Dayna Caddell shared on her Instagram a photo collage of women showing symptoms of the autoimmune disease.

The "Crazy" singer recounts that it took her almost three years to get the correct diagnosis because the symptoms mimicked several diseases. Later, she found out that she's genetically predisposed to the disease because of a family history of lupus, psoriasis and encephalitis.

"I was living a seemingly healthy life, making strides in my career, and one day I was just drop-kicked by this thing, like so many others," she said.

"Genetics are only 1/3 of the equation. Environment, diet, and many other factors play a part. If you know me, you know I'm a happy sunshiny kinda girl, who prefers to keep things on the up. But you know, life ain't always pretty, and where I am weak my God is STRONG!!"
