Who Are the Free Bleeders?
Founded in 2019 by Tracye Hamler in Atlanta, GA, Free Bleeders is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving as a vital lifeline for advocacy and education.
For decades, Hemophilia was mistakenly labeled a "male disease." This dangerous misconception led to millions of women being misdiagnosed or dismissed. We're here to change that narrative through clinical expertise and community peer support.
