Being a teenager is an incredible journey filled with new friendships, exciting hobbies, sports adventures, and the exploration of future aspirations. It’s a time when the world is full of possibilities, waiting for you to explore and conquer.

But during this time of change and new beginnings, it’s important to acknowledge the unique challenge of managing a bleeding disorder.
