Hemophilia has had a huge effect on my life and despite everything this disorder limits me in, there are more then enough ways to lead a normal exciting life. This blog is designed to show those living with this disorder, whether it directly effects you or a family member or friend, how to live an exciting and normal life despite some limitations. Enjoy and feel free to share your stories as well!

Success in Africa
Long time no blog. Well my plan to blog about my Africa trip was thwarted by a lack of consistent internet connection in Eldoret so I will be updating my blog post trip. I did journal alot about my experiences so I will just post once a day from my journal to update everyone. The one spoiler I will divulge is that I made it to the top of Africa!!! At 6:00 A.M. on June 3, 2011 I successfully made it to Uhuru peak (19,340ft) and the top of Kilimanjaro becoming the first hemophiliac from the United States to accomplish this. It was an incredible feeling and can't wait to share it with you all as well as all the rest of my great experiences in Kenya and Tanzania!!!

Chris, you are AMAZING! As we prepare to climb next, we will never forget that you were the first! Like our Neil Armstrong of hemophilia! We need to do an article on you and your great achievement!
