GLHF’s 1st Virtual Unite Walk Proves Successful While #BeingTogetherApart!

In a year with so many “new normals” and unique challenges, the community came together on September 26 to raise $48,225!  In our first ever virtual Unite for Bleeding Disorders Walk, we celebrated on Zoom with a Pinwheel Ceremony, a magician, awards, videos, contests and dance parties!

Thank you to all of our teams who helped educate the community about bleeding disorders and raised money to make the event a success! Head over and watch some familiar faces in our Pinwheel Ceremony!
