The safety and health of people living with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders, their families, our supporters and volunteers are our #1 priority. With that in mind, we are moving our Unite for Bleeding Disorders Walk to virtual on Saturday, October 10th to join the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF) and other chapters nationwide on their national Unite Day!

This presentation is intended to walk you through the journey that started over 50 years ago with the beginnings of gene therapy research. We will walk through the basics of genetics and how that plays a role in hemophilia. With that knowledge, we will look at how gene therapy is meant to work and discuss both the potential for and the challenges of investigational gene therapy research in hemophilia today.

Join the HACA/VHF advocacy committee for our virtual chat series. These chats focus on advocacy topics relevant to the bleeding disorders community!

During our chat we will learn more about two bleeding disorders community members and advocates who have been elected to serve in their communities, Vaughn Ripley, Brunswick, Maryland City Council Member and State Representative Randi Clites (D-Ravenna), Ohio House District 75.
