For over 40 years, my family has been affected by a bleeding disorder called vonWillebrand Disease.  My brother was the first in our family ever diagnosed, then 5 years later I was diagnosed.  We both have Type 3 Severe vWD.  We are missing less than 1% of a clotting protein called vonwillebrand factor which acts as glue to stick platelets together.  Since then, 5 of my nieces and nephews have been diagnosed with Type 1.  So, needless to say it runs in our family.  

The Tri-State Bleeding Disorder Foundation is our local bleeding disorder chapter.  They help families with education, sending kids to camp, medical alert jewelry, financially, advocacy and so much more.  I am team captain for VWD Warriors for the 7th year in a row to help raise funds to support my bleeding disorder community. 

Please consider making a charitable donation through my team and help support your local bleeding disorder chapter today!

Thank you & God Bless!

~For many, a world without bleeding disorders is simply a dream. Thousands of kids and adults affected face internal bleeding, costly treatments and lifelong infusions.

I’m all in to help end bleeding disorders. My personal goal is to raise as much as possible for this worthy cause. Will you help me reach my fundraising goal? It’s easy — just click “donate” to make a secure donation.

Every dollar stays within our community and supports critical initiatives such as funding research to find better treatments, educating medical providers on the latest innovations and care, ensuring families have access to quality healthcare and providing access to the best educational resources available.
