I had a ton of time to think while climbing Aconcagua. I couldn't tell you all the thoughts that popped into my head but one that stuck with me was to share the Colorado mountains with the local hemophilia community. Not only should we encourage our younger generations to keep active but why not show them where they can go, what they can see! So, this summer, NHF Colorado is starting Backpacks and Bleeders!  Our first adventure will be to Maxwell Falls just outside of Evergreen, Colorado on June 8th and I encourage anyone in the area to come on by!

Yesterday I was invited to 9News here in Denver for an interview!  Susie Wargin, the morning sports anchor, contacted me on Monday about coming in for an interview about my climbs.  I was extremely nervous.  I have never interviewed on TV before and especially not live!  Susie was an amazing host though and made me extremely comfortable.  What a cool experience!

With my recent trip to Argentina and with today being World Hemophilia Day, I thought I would take this opportunity to share my visit to the Fundacion de la Hemofilia de la Argentina.  Prior to my trip I thought most hemophilia communities were organized much like ours in Colorado, where the hemophilia foundation/chapter helped organize community activities like camp and the hemophilia treatment center took care of the medical needs of the community.  Argentina does it completely different!
