Most people who meet Brooks would never guess he has severe Hemophilia A. At 4½, he’s a wild and wonderful little boy who loves to run, play, and keep us on our toes.
That freedom is possible because of his incredible treatment, the amazing team at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, and the support of the Gateway Bleeding Disorders Association.
GBD provides education, advocacy, community, and support to families like ours, helping kids like Brooks live full, active lives and simply be kids.
We’re proud to take part in the 2026 Unite for Bleeding Disorders Walk & 5K, and we’d be so grateful if you’d consider supporting our team, Brooksie’s Buddies. Every dollar stays local and helps fund critical advocacy, education, research, and support services for families impacted by bleeding disorders.
How you can help:
- Donate: Any amount makes a real impact
- Share: Help us spread the word with your friends and family
Thank you for loving and supporting our sweet boy and this incredible community ❤️
We truly couldn’t do this without you!
❤️, Cara + Brian
