Share Your Stop the Clot® Story

We invite you to share your Stop the Clot® Story and help us prevent blood clots. Complete the form to the right and keep an eye out for your story to appear on social media. Visit here for social media content you can share right now on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest and sign up to Share to Stop the Clot® with us.


Blood clots can and do affect everyone. Your experiences are a true testament to the widespread impact of blood clots and blood clotting disorders. Your stories are important, and by raising your voice you help raise awareness about blood clot risks, signs and symptoms, and prevention.

When we share our stories, we help people better understand the impact of blood clots. It is our hope that people who are affected by blood clots will read your stories and learn more life-saving information about blood clots. It is also an opportunity to realize a greater sense of community — a community to which we all belong and a community focused on the spectrum of needs and challenges that go hand-in-hand with blood clots and clotting disorders.

Together we can empower people to pivot from their fears, worries, and concerns, and to move forward much better informed by the personal perspectives that are being shared. Stop the Clot® — that’s the call-to-action for our community — and we hope you make the choice to connect with us and share your Stop the Clot® Story.


Contact NBCA’s Communications & Health Marketing Department with questions.

I want to share my #stoptheclotstory to help raise awareness about blood clots.
