My Story

When you hope that something is not true, but then it ends up being the truth. This is what happened to my family on a Saturday in August. The morning was just like any other. But as the afternoon came and we were getting ready to move forward with our day something was not right with my mom’s leg. My father encouraged her to go to the hospital. After some time of encouragement, she did give in and go. My sister and I decided that we would go spend some time with some family instead waiting alone. While she was at the hospital, we all waited anxiously together for an answer. When it finally came it was exactly what we had hoped it was not. A second blood clot. It took some time to wrap my head around that fact. It made no sense to me. I understood the first one was my fault. She was pregnant with me. This one there was no answer. That made it harder to wrap my head around. As I slowly did it hit me that this is the new normal. But we knew we had to keep moving forward with life. Life does not stop even when someone you love has a blood clot. It just changes your normal. As of Monday February 15th, we are excited to say that she has the story of a two time SURVIVOR.

Description

The National Blood Clot Alliance (NCBA) is gearing up for Blood Clot Awareness Month this year in a BIG way! In honor of the 100,000 lives lost each year to blood clots, NBCA is setting out to RIDE 100,000 miles, RAISE $100,000 and REACH 100,000 people. 

 

I'm teaming up with NBCA’s Team Stop the Clot® for a 31-day virtual ride challenge throughout the month of March to help raise these critical funds to support NBCA’s programs and services. 

 

NBCA's mission means a lot to me personally. Your donation of any amount will help support National Blood Clot Alliance’s vision of creating a future in which fewer lives are lost to preventable blood clots.
