It is November and I am still celebrating 10 years of blogging about Blood Clots and Blood Clotting Disorders in support of STOPTHECLOT.org
THANK YOU for giving me the opportunity to continue doing this and for reading whenever I am able to post. Here I am to keep it going!
Also in November this is a very special time for TEAM STOPTHECLOT as our volunteers aim to tackle the challenge of the annual NYC Marathon.
It is truly amazing to see folks take on the marathon challenge as they raise funds and awareness for blood clots and blood clotting disorders. It is inspiring to see Blood Clot Survivors CELEBRATING THAT THEY CAN and also Friends and Family providing support for a loved one.
From the TEAM STOPTHECLOT fundraising page I encourage you to click, read on, and meet the team...

Seven Years Running 2018 marks the 7th year for Team Stop The Clot® as an Official Charity Partner of the TCS New York City Marathon. We’re proud of our history, and even more proud of our 45 runners who crossed the finish line, raised over $250,000, and brought blood clot awareness to their family, friends, people across the country, and to spectators along the marathon course. Seven Years Sharing Startling Blood Clot Statistics
On average, 274 people die every day from blood clots.
- 900,000 cases per year are now suggested by recent scientific modeling and public health statistics.
- 100,000 to 300,000 deaths from blood clots occur each year, which is greater than the total number of people who lose their lives each year to AIDS, breast cancer, and motor vehicle crashes combined.
- On average, one person dies every six minutes from a blood clot. Don’t be one of them. Blood clots can be prevented. Understand the risks. Know the signs and symptoms.
Thank you for visiting our page and contributing to the fundraising efforts of one or more of our Team members. They're working hard training and fundraising, and they are helping the National Blood Clot Alliance make a difference every single day!
