Growing up with haemophilia

The goal of a happy childhood, an enjoyable adolescence, and a successful adulthood is ‘normality’.

If normal things are not recognised and celebrated, a medical condition can eventually take precedence over everything else and become a ‘handicap’ to an individual’s normal development.
