The Haemophilia Society is the only UK-wide charity for all those affected by a genetic bleeding disorder. We want to ensure that everyone affected by a bleeding disorder has equality of opportunity, the chance to connect with others in the community and the knowledge to feel empowered.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I was diagnosed with moderate Haemophilia A when I was 8. It is a genetic bleeding disorder which reduces the ability of blood to clot. It can cause bruises and bleeding in soft tissues, muscles and joints which sometimes can be spontaneous. I inject medication twice a week to try to prevent bleeds from occurring. For more information please visit: https://haemophilia.org.uk/

I chose to fundraise for the Haemophilia Society as they support many families like my own through life with Haemophilia. For example, I have attended an activity weekend with other children who share my condition.

Running is one of the safer sports that I can do as contact sports carry a high risk of bleeds. As a sporty child, I had to give up playing competitive football and changed my focus to running. I have decided to raise money and awareness by running at least 10km every day during the month of November. I hope you can support me through this challenge whether it's through your donations or encouragement.
