Why promote MEN1 awareness?

MEN1 isn't very common: only about 1 in 30,000 people have this genetic disorder. But that's 10,000 in the United States, and more than 250,000 worldwide.

When a disease is "rare" and unknown to our family and friends we tend not to think much about it... But when it strikes a loved one, "rare" no longer has much meaning.

We want to promote greater awareness, research, and improved treatment of MEN1.
