Funny Blood

Local Mum, Ruby Edwards, founded Funny Blood in 2009 to raise awareness of her son’s rare blood condition. Noah was only one when he was diagnosed with the rare condition called Platelet Function Disorder with Thrombocytopenia.   This means that the number of platelets in his blood are very low and do not work correctly, so even a minor bump may lead to excessive bruising. If Noah is unlucky enough to cut himself he can bleed for a very long time and he often requires urgent attention and treatment. The name, Funny Blood, is derived from the way Ruby described Noah’s blood to him and his sister.
