Glanzmann's Thrombasthenia is an abnormality of platelets, which are involved with clotting of the blood. The support group was founded by a parent of a child diagnosed with the condition. Its main aim is to help the parents of newly diagnosed children in the following ways:

• Sharing family experiences.
• Advising on benefits.
• Arranging visits either at the families address or that above.
• Supplying written information (those interested should supply photocopying and postage costs).
