“As a young woman diagnosed with Hemophilia B, it was difficult for me to find others like me. Connecting
with GOBDF provided me with the opportunity to meet other women with Hemophilia and other bleeding
disorders. After many years of volunteering with GOBDF and leading our Women’s Task Force, I decided to
give back in a different way by serving on the Board of Directors.”
Billy Bernard

“I was looking for an opportunity to join a non-profit organization board and my good friend, and fellow
Board member, Danielle, introduced me to GOBDF.”
Brittany Selby

in touch NOHF. The organization did so much for us during that time, I got involved to be able to provide
that feeling to others.”
