The friends and family who trained with him, the crowds who cheered on the route, and everyone who donated or shared his fundraiser. Your encouragement, time and generosity made this possible and will have a real, positive impact for our Scottish bleeding disorders community.

We’re incredibly proud of Mark, who has already completed the Manchester Marathon and is continuing his journey to the Edinburgh Marathon this May, all in support of Haemophilia Scotland.

Running in honour of his son Theo, who lives with Haemophilia B, Mark has now raised an amazing £3,235. Theo faces the challenges of a rare bleeding disorder every day with courage, and Mark is running for him, their family, and others across Scotland affected by these conditions.

There’s still time to support Mark as he takes on his second marathon. Every donation helps us continue providing vital support, advocacy, and community for families like theirs 💙🏃‍♂️

Best of luck on the 24th Mark, thank you for your incredible fundraising efforts to date!

It's World Mental Health Week 🧠

For those living with a bleeding disorder, it is imperative to not just focus on your physical health, but to also understand the importance of looking after your mental health too.

Chronic, and often 'invisible' disorders, place significant burden on individual's mental wellbeing. The mental toll of chronic pain, activity limitations and treatment burnout is real and isolating.

This World Mental Health Week we are highlighting why physical and mental integrated care is essential and tackling anxiety, depression and mental wellness is a vital part of the journey.

Let's support the 'invisible' side of living with a bleeding disorder! For those living with bleeding disorders and looking for psychological support, head to 👉 https://haemophilia.scot/psychological-support-service/

Did you know that 1 in 5 women who seek help for heavy periods actually have an underlying bleeding disorder? 🩸

Many of us are told that heavy bleeding or easy bruising is just "normal," but it doesn't have to be. Watch out for:

🚩 Periods lasting longer than 7 days
🚩 Changing a pad/tampon every 1-2 hours
🚩 Large, raised bruises that appear easily
🚩 Frequent nosebleeds (10+ mins)

If you think that the above symptoms sound familiar and are looking for support ahead of speaking with your GP, please reach out ♥️

Bleeding disorders, signs and symptoms

Do you know the signs and symptoms of bleeding disorders? If you have a family history of bleeding disorders, or suspect that one of your loved ones may indeed have a bleeding disorder, it's important to know what to look out for 🩸

For example, key symptoms of haemophilia include:

👉 Bleeding for a long time after an injury, surgery, or having a tooth removed
👉 Bruising easily
👉 Joint pain, stiffness and swelling

In severe cases, bleeding can happen for no clear reason, and in milder cases, symptoms only occur after an injury or surgery.

From diagnosis to day-to-day, Haemophilia Scotland is here to support you every step of the way.

Haemophilia doesn’t just affect health, it quietly takes away childhood moments.

Our members consistently share that children with bleeding disorders can miss up to 50% of their schooling due to painful bleeds, long recoveries, and hospital stays. Beyond learning, this means missing out on friendships, confidence-building, and the simple routine of everyday school life.

Over time, these absences can impact not just education, but a child’s sense of belonging.

This is the hidden impact of haemophilia: lost time, isolation, and disruption that many never see.

Awareness matters, because no child should have to miss out on their education, their confidence, or their connection.
