#MyClotStory

Share your blood clot survival story with our community

Your blood clot survivor story has the power to save lives and inspire hope in patients facing similar challenges. Whether you’ve experienced deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism or another form of thrombosis, your journey matters to the millions of people worldwide affected by blood clots each year.

The #MyClotStory campaign connects survivors, caregivers and loved ones through powerful personal experiences that educate others about thrombosis symptoms and treatment options. We also welcome families to honor loved ones who lost their lives to blood clots by sharing their stories, helping preserve their memory while raising awareness about this life-threatening condition.

Your thrombosis experience — from recognizing symptoms to navigating treatment — provides valuable insights that help other patients seek timely medical care. Many survivors credit reading patient stories with helping them recognize their own blood clot symptoms or feel less alone during recovery.

Submit your blood clot story today and join a global movement that’s saving lives through shared experiences and increased awareness.
