16th Annual Unite Walk

Our 16th Annual Unite for Bleeding Disorders Walk, benefiting the New England Hemophilia Association (NEHA), will be held on Saturday, September 27 at Prowse Farm in Canton, MA! 

Everyone in the New England bleeding disorders community, their families, friends, supporters, local businesses and our industry partners from all six New England states are invited to join us.

This special day allows us to celebrate the resilience, dedication and perseverance of our Wicked Strong Family! This important event also raises vital funds needed to continue providing education, support and advocacy for the New England bleeding disorders community.

How Your Donation Makes A Difference

Your support allows us to continue our work of providing support, education and advocacy to those living with a bleeding disorder in the following ways:

  1. Family Camp – For over thirty years, we have offered Family Camp to anyone with a bleeding disorder who receives care in New England. This vital program helps children increase and enhance their self-infusion skills while also helping families build strong connections within our community. We are proud to subsidize 95% of the cost of Camp to ensure that everyone can attend this crucial program. Your donation gives this experience to others. 
  2. Educational Programs – We host several educational conferences and retreat experiences throughout the year. These events provide education in an immersive, supportive environment. Your commitment allows us to continue providing this education to patients and their families.
  3. Advocacy – Every year, we send families to Washington, D.C., and to their state houses to share their stories and to ask lawmakers for their support on legislation that is critical to our community. Your generosity allows us and our needs to continue to be heard.
  4. Emergency Assistance – Each year, we provide roughly $30,000 to families experiencing financial hardships by helping them with non-medical expenses like utility bills, transportation, rent and food. Your support helps those in need. 
  5. Research – Since 2018, we’ve contributed more than $100,000 to help find a cure and improved treatment options for bleeding disorders. Your donation allows us to continue investing in research.
