As many of you know, our son Braden was born with hemophilia, and this year we're once again raising funds and awareness through Braden's Buddies in support of the New England Hemophilia Association (NEHA).

It's hard to believe that Braden is now 3 years old! Like any energetic toddler, he is running wild, climbing rock walls on the swing set, tackling ladders, and exploring every adventure he can find. While we love seeing him grow, learn, and gain confidence, these everyday activities can also be nerve-wracking when you live with hemophilia and know that even a simple fall can have serious consequences.

That is why organizations like NEHA are so important. The support they provide goes far beyond today. NEHA helps fund critical research that is improving treatments and creating hope for the future of people living with bleeding disorders. Every advancement brings us closer to a better, safer future for Braden and countless others.

NEHA will also be a major part of Braden's life as he grows up. Through camps, educational programs, family events, and community gatherings, he will have opportunities to make friends, build confidence, and connect with others who understand what it's like to live with a rare bleeding disorder. Having that sense of community is truly invaluable.

We are proud to walk as Braden's Buddies and would be incredibly grateful for your support. Every donation, no matter the size, helps NEHA continue its mission of supporting families, advancing research, providing education, and building a stronger community for those affected by bleeding disorders.

Thank you for supporting Braden, Braden's Buddies, and the entire bleeding disorders community. Together, we can make a difference.
