Hi, this is Remo from Pondicherry, India doing my final year B Com, suffering from hemophilia A. As a child i never cared about it until it affected my joints and i had to skip classes at my school and couldn’t participate in any sports.

The factor availability was restricted in my area and i had been bed ridden for more than 6 months during which time i felt so lonely. I never left my hometown due to this, but slowly due to continuous support from the chapters, regular exercises and improved medical facilities now I’m quite fit. Now I’m doing my degree in a college far away from my hometown and my factor intake has reduced considerably.

I also volunteer in my chapter as youth secretary and as a facilitator in National youth workshops.
