World Hemophilia Day is about bringing the global bleeding disorder community together. With the COVID-19 pandemic having a major impact on people with a bleeding disorder, that objective has never been more important. The world has changed greatly over the last year, but one thing hasn’t: we are still in this together! The World Federation of Hemophilia is offering many tools to help you highlight the day: www.wfh.org/en/events/world-hemophilia-day ... Join us on April 17 to highlight the importance of maintaining care for all. #WHD2021

We need your help! Health authorities in your province and across Canada are right now deciding whether or not to pay for Hemlibra (emicizumab), a life-changing new therapy for people with severe hemophilia A without inhibitors. The CHS has prepared a letter to which you can add your own story if you wish. It will be sent by e-mail to your member of the provincial legislature and Minister of Health to say how important access to Hemlibra really is: www.hemophilia.ca/hemlibra...-access/ Adding your voice to ours will make a difference.

The main objective of the Imagine Canada Standards Program is to increase transparency of charitable organizations and to strengthen public confidence in indivi...dual organizations and the sector as a whole. This process gives the CHS the opportunity to update and compare its policies against leading practices, and to provide direction to both the CHS Board of Directors and staff. https://imaginecanada.ca/en

Meet The Board! Caleigh Kimber is one of the Saskatchewan Chapter Directors of the Canadian Hemophilia Society. Caleigh has type 2A Von Willebrands. After fracturing her ankle at a softball game when she was 14 she became involved with the CHS through her health care providers, mostly reading the mail out’s and attending/speaking at a few conferences throughout the years. During this time she has had the opportunity to see the commitment the organization has to bettering the lives of individuals with Hemophilia, Von Willebrands and other rare bleeding disorders. She is excited to have joined the chapter and to represent individuals with Von Willebrands disorder.

"I still remember receiving the life-altering diagnosis at a young age, upon which hemophilia became intimately intertwined with my identity. The lessons and se...nse of community that I have acquired far outweigh the restrictive impact on my daily life activities. Having volunteered with my provincial chapter, spoken about my experiences to future physicians, and stayed an active advocate for my community, I have gained a sense of fulfillment and belonging. Being in the medical system from a young age and having been looked after by my incredible hematology team encouraged me to pursue a career in health." The James Kreppner Memorial Scholarship and Bursary Program has made a difference to young volunteers and leaders at the CHS. We need your help to be able to bring back the scholarship program in 2021 and continue a legacy of service and community support. Donate here: https://bit.ly/3n6zFA1

People living with a bleeding disorder, from the very young to those of us who are, let’s say, more experienced, all have memories and stories to tell about our... activities, our treatments, our visits to the treatment centres, our hospital stays, and so on. If you also have stories to share, please let us know. Each story can encourage, inspire, highlight different aspects of living with an inherited bleeding disorder, or simply show that you are not alone. Send us a DM, an email to [email protected] or go to bit.ly/3baJE3P

Scholarship, youth leadership, advocacy, community linked to each other, supporting step by step, stronger together. Please donate today to fund youth leaders...hip training and support advocacy initiatives: https://bit.ly/3n6zFA1 #TogetherWeAretheCHS #community
