I’m the co-founder of this site and help run a group called Ben’s Friends (www.BensFriends.org) that builds patient support networks for people with rare conditions. I do this cause I love it. I’ve met so many wonderful friends on this journey.
It all started when my buddy, Ben Munoz, had a stroke caused by a rare condition called AVM. Ben survived but during recovery he couldn’t find a support group…so he started one called AVMSurvivors.org. We realized we were helping a lot of people so we started many more. Today we run 30 online support groups and are growing rapidly, thanks to the wonderful volunteer moderators that help manage the communities.

I’m also at these sites and love new friends!
