Sport and exercise are important for everyone. Regular activity has a huge range of physical and mental health benefits that enable and empower us to lead healthy, happy lives.

People with bleeding disorders are often discouraged or excluded from taking part in sport, especially as children. This comes from a lack of understanding or miseducation around bleeding disorders.

Sports Day is about getting off the sidelines and getting involved. It’s also whatever you want it to be. Whether it’s doing something you love or trying something you love, the important thing is you’re up and moving.

My brother and I will be playing golf as our sporting event. My brother can play and I have been learning slowly but looking forward to the challenge.
