Your support benefits the Nebraska bleeding disorders community by allowing us to advocate for the needs of the community locally and nationally with our elected officials and health organizations, provides education and support from birth on and supports research and innovation to find a cure.
- Nearly 125 people in Nebraska have hemophilia. It's estimated that more than 10,000 people have some kind of bleeding disorder.
- In Nebraska, there are 2,450 people affected by a bleeding disorder, including those affected, family members and caregivers.
