LiveSmart PlaySmart

LiveSmart PlaySmart (LSPS) is a website started by Brian Ragaishis. Brian is one of our community members living with von Willebrands Disease in New York City. Brian created LSPS to show that kids with bleeding disorders, or health problems in general, can still enjoy physical activities and live active lives.

LSPS is where kids can be kids, a place where kids can openly talk about what it is like to live with a blood disorder, and learn how to overcome challenges.

While PlaySmart has a sports angle, their stories do not have to be limited to athletics. The world is our playground, and playing is about living your life to the fullest even with a blood disorder. Let’s be brave together and share our stories!
