====== Personal Stories ======
HIBM, though rare, affects the global community and we are privileged to share with you the following testimonies from patients around the world.

ARM is unique and special because it is patients that are directly involved in helping to achieve a cure. In 1997 ARM was founded by brothers, physicians and HIBM patients, Dr. Daniel and Dr. Babak Darvish. Since, they have dedicated their lives to HIBM research and to spreading awareness. 
The patients are the reason ARM is here, for its current and future generations and we welcome you to experience the stories of each patient through their eyes. 


//“Their story, yours and mine - it's what we all carry with us on this trip we take, and we owe it to each other to respect our stories and learn from them”//
