A blog entry by the National Hemophilia Foundation's CEO, Val D. Bias, was featured on the Huffpost Impact page of The Huffington Post, the Internet newspaper co-founded by Arianna Huffington in 2005. The blog entry recalls Bias' history in the bleeding disorders community, battling stigma, the ravages of HIV and hepatitis C, and the charge his dying wife gave him to "remarry, have kids, and fight to live your life."
During the first nationally recognized Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month, the blog goes on to encourage everyone to take the Red Tie Challenge, and to spread awareness of bleeding disorders.
