Join us on Saturday, September 21, 2024, at the North Park Swimming Pool for the 16th Annual Unite for Bleeding Disorders Walk! The Unite for Bleeding Disorders Walk brings our community together. It unites families with bleeding disorders and chapters with family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers to support important programs and services to help people with Hemophilia, von Willebrand Disease, and other rare bleeding disorders in our community.
The funds generated from our Walk help the Western Pennsylvania Bleeding Disorders Foundation:
Promote patient advocacy and blood safety for everyone
Support families in need by offering assistance with medical bills, travel to and from the treatment center, knee/elbow braces and other medical devices
Provide medical ID jewelry to our members at no cost to them
Provide local educational programming throughout the year
Provide a support network to all our community members
Create and increase awareness about bleeding disorders
Your support means continued education, support groups, and patient assistance for our members in need. By participating in our Unite Walk, you are raising critical funds and awareness for our mission and showing each other the strength & unity of the Bleeding Disorders Community.
Register today by starting a team, joining a team, or being an individual walker. Local businesses are invited to share their support by sponsoring the Unite for Bleeding Disorders Walk or a local walk team! Click here to learn more about our available sponsorship opportunities.
