Share Your Thrombosis Story

June 19th, 2015

Have you or a loved one suffered from thrombosis? Please contact us to share your story.

In support of World Thrombosis Day, we are looking for people around the world who are willing to talk about their experiences of thrombosis, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE) and venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Because thrombosis affects different people in different ways, your unique story can help others protect themselves from potentially deadly blood clots and recognize the signs and symptoms of a serious issue.

Interested or know someone who may be? Please email us at wtd@isth.org or share your story on the WTD Facebook page. Creativity is encouraged. Consider making a video, podcast recording or image collage.
