To raise awareness about Victory for Women NHF teamed up with musical artist, Jessica Rae, and original songwriter, Tom Jordan, to create the official Victory for Women song and music video. The video also features pictures from our 2011 calendar showing photographs of women with bleeding disorders and our maroon victory scarf symbolizing unity among women with bleeding disorders.
We are proud to announce our new women’s health and bleeding disorder initiative --Victory for Women with Blood Disorders, an endeavor that builds upon and expands the former Project Red Flag. With the assistance and expertise of volunteers on our education/outreach committee, public awareness committee, and the National Hemophilia Foundation’s (NHF) Medical and Scientific Advisory Council (MASAC), the Victory for Women with Blood Disorders program will incorporate education, advocacy, and support for women diagnosed with a blood disorder as well as raising awareness among women who have not yet been diagnosed
