We are driven to bridge gaps of support and education in the chronic conditions community, focusing on the bleeding disorders community.
To offer individuals, families, and groups a platform to be inspired through with fitness, activities, camp, advocacy, education, and financial assistance, and to become more empowered as individuals and families living out their lives with chronic conditions.
In January 2012, two hemophiliacs, Chad Brown and Donald Regan II, founded Wingmen Foundation, a legally recognized 501(c)(3) organization providing value added services to the community of chronic conditions. Both Mr. Brown and Mr. Regan have volunteered their time over the years for Florida’s hemophilia foundations and The American Cancer Society. Together, they formed The Wingmen Foundation to further assist and support the much needed void in these and other communities for education and advocacy in physical fitness. At the time of its founding, services did not exist for the inclusion of physical therapy and related necessary treatments of physical disabilities in the bleeding disorder, cancer, and chronic conditions communities.
Patients with chronic conditions are constantly faced with the challenge of balancing costs of treatment with the necessary and appropriate medical care. Treatments, along with exercise and physical rehabilitation, can prolong the lives of patients while providing a better quality of life. Far too often, exercise and rehabilitation is not given the timely attention it needs to make an impact due to cost or limitation of insurance visits.
We at Wingmen Foundation, while living with chronic conditions, understand the importance of exercise and rehabilitation; that is why it is our mission to help. One of many chronic conditions that we are focused in supporting is Hemophilia.
