In 2008, NHF created a collaborative fundraising program that would help chapters raise the funds needed to support research and provide programs and direct services to people with bleeding disorders. I can’t believe that we are now kicking off the ninth year of the Hemophilia Walk program. In just eight years of the program, NHF and its chapters have raised more than $14.5 million and engaged 66,000 walkers with over 5,600 teams. These impressive numbers are certain to grow since we have increased to more than 40 locations this year.
