Join us for the “Factoring Fairways for Families,” an annual golf tournament hosted by Bleeding Disorders of the Heartland to raise funds for the local bleeding disorders community. Bleeding Disorders of the Heartland’s mission is to educate, connect, and support those affected with bleeding disorders. Bleeding disorders are a group of conditions that result when the blood cannot clot properly. In normal clotting, platelets, a type of blood cell, stick together and form a plug at the site of an injured blood vessel. Individuals with a bleeding disorder are lacking part of the sequence to form a proper clot. This can be life threatening in some cases, individuals must receive the factor they are missing. The medicine for this chronic medical condition is very expensive. The funds raised go to helping local families and a special space funds are utilized is at summer camp. Camp is a unique summer experience for children ages 6-17 with bleeding disorders. Camp provides an opportunity to bond with peers as they learn to manage their chronic medical condition under medical supervision. At camp children learn to self-infuse gaining the confidence to be empowered to be an advocate for their condition. The camp experience impacts the futures of the children who attend and their families. Children connect with other children and form lifelong bonds with others “just like” them. They are able to receive one on one directions to have success with not only learning to infuse others but being confident enough to earn the “big poke” award for self-infusing. Bleeding Disorders Camp provides families with a safe environment for families to be able to let their kids attend. Staff is trained and comfortable with caring for children with a bleeding disorder. This allows for a genuine camp experience.
