Since 2006, Ben’s Friends has provided safe and supportive online communities for patients living with rare diseases and chronic illnesses, as well as their caregivers and families.
Today, patients can connect through many online platforms and social media communities. In many ways, we believe our mission has been accomplished — helping create a world where patients can more easily find support and connection.
After careful consideration, the Executive Board of Ben’s Friends has made the difficult decision to close several online support communities, including the Life with Multiple Myeloma community.
Although this community is closing, we encourage members to continue connecting through other trusted patient communities, advocacy organizations, and online support groups serving individuals and families affected by multiple myeloma. For more information and helpful resources, please visit our archived community page - multiplemyeloma.bensfriends.org, where we have gathered alternative support options and disease-specific resources to help guide you to ongoing support.
It has been our privilege and honor to serve the Multiple Myeloma community over these many years. Thank you to all who contributed to this rare disease site.
The Board and Staff of Ben’s Friends Inc.
