About Me

Tagline: Am I No 12?
Me, Myself, and I: The purpose of this group is to ask the question ‘Am I Number 12?’ and raise awareness of hepatitis B and C.

On Monday 19 May the World Hepatitis Alliance is coordinating the first truly global World Hepatitis Day and this year we are asking the question ‘Am I Number 12?’ to raise awareness of the incredible statistic that one in 12 people worldwide are living with viral hepatitis B or C.

Approximately 500 million people around the world have either hepatitis B or C and the majority of those infected don’t even know! Over 200 patient groups around the world are backing the campaign and you can help us by:

• Joining our network and encouraging your friends to sign up too
• Adding one of the ‘Am I Number 12?’ logos as your profile picture
• Visiting the ‘Am I Number 12?’ website and signing-up for information on 19 May (www.aminumber12.org)

One day will not change the world, but with a coordinated global campaign we can all make a difference - supporting World Hepatitis Day 2008 is an important first step!
