1. Julia Jackson will attend Stockton College of New Jersey; she aspires to be a Physical Therapist specializing in the bleeding disorders community.

The Factor Foundation's grant-making goal is to support organizations providing comprehensive medical treatment, research, education, advocacy and socio-economic support to persons with bleeding disorders. In particular, the Factor Foundation will fund specific projects that measurably improve the quality of life and self-sufficiency of persons with bleeding disorders.

About the Factor Foundation of America founder Dave Madeiros:
Dave was diagnosed with Hemophilia B, Factor IX, at age three. Little was known about the chronic disease state at that time (1959) and doctors encouraged his Mother to limit activities. However, Ruth Madeiros, inspired by one particular doctor and friend (Dr. James Dougherty) encouraged exactly the opposite of her young son. Thanks to her valiant efforts, Dave was never confined to a wheelchair as was originally predicted. Despite many health challenging episodes and several hospitalizations growing up, Dave's keen intelligence and exceptional memory motivated him to learn everything he could and challenge his body in every way possible. Read Dave's inspiring story and share it with others.
The Factor Foundation of America's Belief: That success is not measured in dollars and cents, by the number of bleeding episodes or by laboratory results. Success is measured by the ability to pursue one's passions and interests unobstructed by the physical, emotional, and financial pressures inherent in living with hemophilia.
