Knowing that WG is a rare illness I could not help but think of who is wordly popular that has wegs. We always here about those with other illness but never Wegs. Anyway...just thinking!!!!!

I've wondered that, too. Not that I want anyone else to get this icky disease, but it sure would help us raise awareness and research money if a famous person had Wegs.
Hello!!!! I'm right here!!!! Batman!!!! Is that famous enough for you?
Believe Janet Leigh-Actress died with WG!
Wikipedia says she died of cardiac arrest and also suffered vasculitis and peripheral neuropathy.
Interesting...I agree no one should have this illness, but the fact is that I can't believe someone does not. Anyway
Thats funny, I have wondered that myself.
I have wondered thsi many times. You see it all the time with Cancer and other diseases, someone famous gets it and there is all kinds of fundraisers and support that follows...they almost make it cool, for lack of a better word. Not that I would wish WG on anyone either.
Funny, I googled "Wegener's Granulomatosis Famous People", and this thread came up first.
