As a child, I was not allowed to run around and play with other kids my age. I felt really unhappy all the time. I remember asking my parents a lot of questions about why I can’t do this or take part in that.

I come from a family of haemophiliacs. Five of my older brothers passed away due to different types of bleed

Jose Pepito Vasquez, 47, was diagnosed with hemophilia when he was still a child. Hemophilia is a rare bleeding disorder where the person’s blood lacks the ability to clot. It is a genetic condition and thus, it does not go away
