The first five to six years of my life were spent in and out of the hospital.
How could these people in the public eye not be afraid of me, but my whole town was?
Mayor Koch, of New York, was the first public figure to give me support.
Twice a week I would receive injections or IV's of Factor VIII which clotted the blood and then broke it down.
I believe in myself as I look forward to graduating from Hamilton Heights High School in 1991.
Entertainers, athletes, and stars started giving me support.
