I am Mum to two boys Samuel and Oliver. Samuel was diagnosed at 10 months with Haemophilia A after being in hospital for a month with a frenulum bleed. He had 3 operations to numerous other procedures but they could not stop it from bleeding. We was then referred to Great Ormond Street and he was diagnosed the same day. Even though Haemophilia runs in my family it was still a huge shock that he would have to deal with this for the rest of his life. I felt extremely guilty that I had given this to him. It took a while for us to get our heads round it all, but with the support of my husband, Damien, we managed to deal all the problems that haemophilia bought us. 3 years later Oliver was born and he was diagnosed at birth with Haemophilia. There was a 50:50 chance of him having it. Again this bought new challenges dealing with a second child with haemophilia. My boys have to deal with so much every day in dealing with their condition and I try to be there for them as much as possible. In light of this I saw this opportunity to make money for the Haemophilia Society as they have provided us with so much support and advice that we would not of got through the beginning stages. Please try and dig deep and help me raise money for this amazing charity.
