Mountains We Carry; Mountains We Climb

A journey of strength and hope for the haemophilia community

Mountains We Carry; Mountains We Climb tells the story of seven people with haemophilia from across Europe, as they set out to conquer the highest peak in the Alps.

Their story is a powerful testament to the strength, resilience and determination of the bleeding disorder community.

This inspiring expedition not only showcases the courage of these climbers but also reminds us of the importance of reaching new heights - no matter the obstacles in our way.

Is it time to reimagine your story with haemophilia?

 

Living with haemophilia may result in bleeds and joint pain, which can have an impact on everyday life.  But for many people living with haemophilia today, it is possible to live a life less limited by the condition,1 and instead have the potential to fulfil ambitions and dreams.

Whether it is playing sports with friends, dancing the night away at a concert, hiking or just doing everyday activities without concern, these are actions which, for many, can be achieved without being compromised by haemophilia.   

Understanding how to improve your protection from bleeds and engage in more meaningful conversations with your doctor may help you identify personal goals and reimagine your future with haemophilia.
