 “As a parent, we're the examples that we set for our children. If you want your kids to try new things or step out of their comfort zone, you have to set that example for them. We have one shot in this life; why not make the most out of each and every day?”

“My daughter also has hemophilia and I wanted to make sure that I was prepared to help her as much as I could. I wanted to make sure that I got as much knowledge as I could, so when she has her children, we can be ready and they won't have to go through the same things I went through as a kid.”

“I think mentoring is really important. I call people in the community ‘blood brothers’ and ‘blood sisters.’ We’re connected and can all learn a lot from each other; not just about living with hemophilia, but about love and dealing with the challenges of life.”

“You're never too young to start thinking about what you want to do. Not what makes the most money or what will make your parents happy – but actually figuring out what you want to do. You can do things that you want to do and make it work.”
