Our family was first introduced to the bleeding disorder community in 2013 when our oldest son Tahoe was diagnosed with Severe Hemophilia A.  The diagnosis was a huge shock and we had no idea what our son's future would look like living with a severe bleeding disorder.  The Hawaii Chapter of the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (Then called the National Hemophilia Foundation) provided us a community of people with shared experience with bleeding disorders.  We were able to meet other families with children living with hemophilia who had full happy lives.  The Hawaii Chapter of the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation provides the community a place to gather and share resources.  They organize programs where families can learn about various treatment options, practice the complicated method of infusing life saving medication, and where kids with bleeding disorders can take steps towards living independently.  All donations made to the walk help our local chapter and provide our community with the resources we need to make events possible.   Thank you for helping us reach our fundraising goal! Together we can make a difference in the lives of those living with bleeding disorders. Our team is committed to raising money to support those affected in our community and raising awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure. Please consider joining our team for the Unite For Bleeding Disorders Walk or choose a team member from the list and donate to our cause.
