Karen has hereditary angioedema (HAE). 1 in 17 people in the UK will be affected by a rare disease*. The I Am Number 17 exhibit visually depicts the experiences of 17 people living with rare diseases. I Am Number 17 is a campaign to help the voices of those with rare diseases be heard, brought to you by Takeda, together with 13 rare disease patient groups from across the UK. The goal is to increase the understanding of what it is like to live with a rare disease and show that rare isn’t always that rare.
