We re raising awareness by getting people who suffer nosebleeds to have a long hard think

As Rare Disease Day approaches on Sunday February 28, The Fingal Independent speaks to a Swords mum whose family suffered in silence from a genetic disorder until a Late Late Show episode prompted them to seek help. Dara Woods and other members of her family suffer from HHT (Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu Syndrome.) Essentially a genetic disorder in which some blood vessels do not develop properly, HHT commonly affects the nose, lungs, GI tract, brain and liver and other organs. With symptoms ranging from mild to severe, left untreated or undiagnosed, HHT can be fatal. Dara speaks to The Fingal Independent about her family s long battle with HHT, and how it ultimately took 22-year-old son, Paul s life.
