How It All Began
Two patients, Eileen Propp and Marianne Vennitti, living with the Rare Disease, Cryoglobulinemia Vasculitis found each other on Social Media. They quickly become friends and because of their passion, to learn more about Cryo and to share this knowledge with the world, formed The Alliance for Cryoglobulinemia in 2012. Their Motto became, “YOU ARE RARE BUT NOT ALONE”
