What is BensFriends.org?
In 2007 Ben Muñoz suffered a rare form of stroke caused by an
AVM. He was unable to find the support he needed during the most
difficult time, so he created an online support community AvmSurvivors.Org leading to the founding of Bens Friends an organization driven to provide patient-to-patient support communities for people living with rare diseases.
BensFriends.org is a network of patient
communities for people living with rare diseases. Launched in
November 2007, BensFriends.org provides valuable patient support by
creating and running compassionate, responsive communities.
BensFriends.org maintains dozens of patient communities and has
changed thousands of lives.
