From a Small Message Board to a Global Glanzmann Thrombasthenia Community

Peter Zdziarski, Founder and Marketing Director of Glanzmann Thrombasthenia Advocacy Network, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“This Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month, I want people to understand that the Glanzmann’s Research Foundation,Inc. has been here far longer than most realize.

For nearly 30 years, we’ve maintained an online presence so individuals living with Glanzmann Thrombasthenia have a place to connect.

It began as a simple message board with just about 20 members. But for a one-in-a-million disorder, that is powerful.

Today, that small circle has grown into a Facebook community of nearly 1,000 members!

From the U.S., UK, Canada, Pakistan, India, and beyond.

We’ve grown.

We’ve evolved.

But we never forget where we started, or why we exist.”
