P2B – Paris to Brussels bike ride for Haemophilia

Together with a team of Sobi colleagues, I will be cycling about 360 km from Paris to Brussels over three days from Friday 8 September to Sunday 10 September in order to raise money for the European Haemophilia Consortium (EHC). It will be a challenge and an exciting experience.

Hope you want to sponsor our fundraising, and follow our P2B adventure!

Thanks for your support,

Love from Christine

About the EHC
The European Haemophilia Consortium (EHC) is an international non-profit organisation that represents 45 national patients´organisations of people with rare bleeding disorders from 27 Member States of the European Union (EU) and most Member States of the Council of Europe. The EHC represents approximately 90,000 people diagnosed with a rare bleeding condition such as haemophilia, von Willebrand Disease (VWD) and other rare bleeding disorders across Europe. However, it is estimated that many people live with an undiagnosed rare bleeding disorder.

About haemophilia
Haemophilia is a type of bleeding in which the blood does not clot properly. When a person with haemophilia bleeds it takes longer than normal for the bleeding to stop. This is because people with haemophilia don´t produce enough of an important protein that helps the blood to clot, called a ”clotting factor”. Haemophilia is a rare disease that is usually inherited and is more common in males than females.
