The National Blood Clot Alliance (NBCA) is pleased to announce that we have been selected to participate in the 2017 Marine Corps Marathon’s 10k Charity Program.

Our Team's goal is to raise funds for our mission of education and awareness. Typically, it's a Team of blood clot survivors or those running to honor a loved one touched by blood clots. As you read their stories you'll learn about their commitment and dedication to raise funds, awareness, train, awhile running for our Team.

The startling blood clot statistics tell it all:

• -1 person will die every 6 minutes in the US due to a blood clot.
• -274 people in the US will die every day due to a blood clot.
• -Between 600,000 - 900,000 new blood clots are diagnosed annually in the US, with 100,000 deaths related to blood clots.
• -The #'s do not include those who survive but live with complications.
• -Blood clots kill more people every year than AIDS, breast cancer, and car accidents combined.

Regardless of age, race or gender, we are all at risk. No matter how young or physically fit you may be, you can still be affected.

Please donate today to help NBCA save lives. as we continue our mission to advance prevention, early diagnosis and successful treatment of life-threatening blood clots such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and clot-provoked stroke.
