The Delaware Valley Chapter families and friends are making a commitment to Phase II of the Campaign for our Future, an NHF initiative to raise money for important research bringing better treatments and ultimately, a cure! With more than 90% of NHFs goal reached, $7.3 million to date, Phase II of this important campaign is off to a great start.

For more than 60 years, NHF has been a leader in the field of scientific research for bleeding disorders and remains the largest non-governmental organization committed to this type of science. One of NHF’s premier research programs is its Judith Graham Pool Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Bleeding Disorders (JGP). The Delaware Valley Chapter, along with Chapters around the country, is a longtime contributor to the JGP Program. We, and others, are expanding our commitment to research through Phase II of the Campaign.

In the late 1960s, Dr. Pool’s groundbreaking research revolutionized the current treatments for bleeding disorders. Inspired by her ingenuity, in 1972 NHF established a fellowship in her name to enable other talented scientists to devote themselves completely to advancing new treatments and finding a cure. For additional information about NHF’s Research Program and the Judith Graham Pool Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Bleeding Disorders visit the NHF website: http://www.hemophilia.org.

I hope you will consider making a 100% tax-deductible contribution that will directly support the Judith Graham Pool Fellowship. Your gift in whatever size will be the catalyst for potential discoveries, paving the way for a better life for current and future generations of individuals living with hemophilia and all bleeding disorders. Enclosed is an envelope you can use to make your contribution to this worthwhile effort. PLEASE MAKE YOUR CHECK PAYABLE TO: national hemophilia Foundation. Thank you in advance for your gift of support.

Together, we can make a difference,

Ann
