Blazin' for Bleeders 5k / Fun Walk is Tennessee Hemophilia & Bleeding Disorders Foundation's (THBDF) seventh annual race. This race helps provide support, education, and advocacy for the bleeding disorder community in Tennessee and surrounding areas that go to a Tennessee Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC). People with bleeding disorders are confronted with many physical, medical, emotional, and psychological challenges. How well they meet these challenges depends on a number of things, including the severity of the illness, the quality of medical care, and the ability to pay for treatment. The funds will help support the efforts of THBDF to continue bringing support to this often-overlooked community.
