I come from a family with bleeding disorders so it did not take me long to be diagnosed with vWD type IIA at Children’s Hospital. Since I was 10, I had been a part of the Bleeding Disorder community having gone to Camp Bold Eagle in Michigan, a part of NHF’s National Leadership Institute, and now currently I am the liaison for the women’s booth at the Glasgow WFH event. I’ve never looked at vWD as a disease, I’ve always looked at it as an opportunity to network and meet people with the same interests as me. I am proud that WFH is globally recognizing women and girls with bleeding disorders.
