    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.

    Interesting...I agree no one should have this illness, but the fact is that I can't believe someone does not. Anyway

    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.
