Celebrating Mark Salmen – A True LFWBD Hero

As Chair of Local Families with Bleeding Disorders (LFWBD), I want to take a moment to celebrate one of our longest-standing members – Mark Salmen. Mark, along with his wife and two sons, has been with us since the charity began six years ago. Their journey has included major challenges, from an unexpected diagnosis to navigating needle phobia – and through it all, they have shown extraordinary strength and resilience.

We’ve been proud to support them during the toughest times, and in return, they have become a huge inspiration to our community. Most recently, Mark took on the London to Brighton Bike Ride and raised over £1,000 for LFWBD.

Mark, we think you’re amazing. Without people like you, we couldn’t run the events that bring our families together. Thank you for your dedication, generosity, and spirit. We are so lucky to have you in our LFWBD family. Well done!
