Thank you for your generous support to the BHOF “Be Bone Strong” team! As you may know, I've been working at BHOF for the past 12 years and became CEO in 2020. Prior to joining the organization, I knew very little about bone health. And I had no idea that osteoporosis was a chronic disease that was part of my family's medical history.

Did you know that osteoporotic fractures are responsible for more hospitalizations than heart attacks, strokes, and breast cancer combined? 

My mom broke her hip at age 83. She was very proud of the recovery she made and she had every right to be. But like so many who have experienced a hip fracture, she had to use a cane and a walker for the rest of her life. She was far less steady on her feet and was hesitant to venture out of the house without help.

All of our “Be Bone Strong” teams work to raise much-needed funds to help BHOF improve patient care, support those who have broken bones due to osteoporosis, and educate the public and policy makers about this chronic but manageable disease.

Thank you, again, for your support!

Warmly and with gratitude,

Claire
