Valeria Designs is a proud sponsor of the Florida Hemophilia Association, which promotes opportunities for improving the quality of life for persons with hemophilia or other bleeding disorders. The ultimate aim is a cure.
As you may know, blood contains at least ten proteins (called clotting factors) that must work together in order for blood to clot properly. These clotting proteins are numbered I through XIII. When a person’s blood is not able to clot, the person has a bleeding disorder or Hemophilia.
Hemophilia caused by a defect in or a lack of clotting factor VIII is called hemophilia A (sometimes known as classic hemophilia). Hemophilia caused by a defect in or a lack of clotting factor IX is called hemophilia B (sometimes known as Christmas disease, named for the first person who was known to have this disorder).
People cannot “catch” hemophilia; they are born with it. Hemophilia is a hereditary disease — in other words, it “runs in families” (is inherited). Patients with Hemophilia need several expensive treatments and medicines. That’s why we are committed to the cause, participating in multiple events sponsored by the associations, donating our products that are usually auctioned to raise funds and also sharing part of the revenue generated thru the sales made on this web site.
People with hemophilia need your support!!!. Please join the cause by getting involved here:
Florida Hemophilia Association
Hemofilia Foundation of Greater Florida
Thank you!
