I’m thrilled to be participating in the 2026 Unite for Bleeding Disorders Walk, a fundraiser to support the bleeding disorders community! All money raised stays within our community and funds crucial advocacy, education, research, and support services. I’m passionate about this cause and need your help! Every donation—big or small—helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause. 

I live with VWD Type 1 mild. While it has not significantly impacted my life, it has impacted my family. Our lives were forever changed when my brother was diagnosed at age 2 with VWD Type 1 Severe. I was diagnosed shortly after my brother. Although I have mild VWD and my siblings have severe, we have all learned to live with the challenges of bleeding disorders. Our lives were changed again when we adopted our younger brother from China who has hemophilia A Severe. He lives with damage from years of untreated bleeds. We have dedicated years to this cause and we ask you to support us as we continue to raise funds for Pacific Northwest Bleeding Disorders. Every dime that you donate remains local and supports the efforts of our local organization.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you for standing by me in this effort! Your support means the world to me!
