In 2006, Ben Munoz suffered a life-threatening brain hemorrhage. He created an online support community so that he could connect with other patients.
The support he received, and later, gave within that community led to the founding of Ben's Friends, a network of patient communities dedicated to providing support for patients of rare diseases like himself.
If you or a loved one has been affected by a rare disease, you are not alone. Join and connect with others like you.
