Mike Hylton faced some of the most physically daunting and mortal challenges that people with severe hemophilia could encounter. During the blood crisis of the 1980ÔÇÖs, Mike met the challenges with class and a concern for others not only in the bleeding disorders community, but also those affected with HIV. He was a thoughtful, analytical, and spiritual individual - patient and tolerant of others, but certainly willing and capable to express his opinions and beliefs. This scholarship is for those who have hemophilia or von Willebrand Disease and their immediate family members. Applications will open in 2023.
