World Thrombosis Day Friday, October 13

Dear George.,

We are excited to kick off the countdown to the 10th anniversary of World Thrombosis Day (WTD) next week, and we can’t wait to share this remarkable milestone with you. This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering dedication and tireless efforts of our incredible global partners like yourself.

As we approach this exciting occasion, we invite you to join us in raising awareness as part of a season of circulatory health awareness, which includes World Heart Day, World Thrombosis Day, and World Stroke Day.

Here’s how you can get involved:

1. Update Your Profile Picture: Show your support by changing your social media profile picture with our special badge. It’s easy! Simply visit this link. Don’t forget to use this year’s official hashtag: #WTDay23 and tag us.
2. WTD 60 for 60 Fitness Challenge: Get active before October 13, snap a photo, and share it using the hashtag #WTD60for60. Involve your family and pets and share crucial information about thrombosis prevention.
