Funny Blood raises awareness of rare blood conditions called Platelet Function Disorders (PFDs) signposts information to support families living with the little-known condition and fundraises for Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity.

Funny Blood was founded by Ruby Edwards in 2009 when her son was diagnosed with a number of complex Platelet Function Disorders and Thrombocytopenia. Ruby’s motivation was to help her son, and those like him, by doing something positive. The name – Funny Blood – originated from the way she described her son’s blood to him and his sister.
