Home Page

Believe Limited in collaboration with Roche has accomplished not just one but five powerful journeys that take us to all corners of the planet. These important projects feature the strength and resilience of multiple diverse individuals that have overcome extreme hurdles with their bleeding disorders to reach a point of stability in their lives, and continue to steam ahead. Check out the trailer and the full length video below that spotlights Cici and Mateo in Argentina.

In Buenos Aires, a mother and son both living with bleeding disorders use the arts as a means of coping and advocacy. Ceci, living with von Willebrand disease and mild hemophilia, is a multi-talented actress and theater teacher who amplifies the voices of women with bleeding disorders through a podcast. Her son Mateo, a film student with hemophilia A, creates advocacy content for the Hemophilia Federation of Argentina, hoping to influence policy changes for adult prophylaxis.
