Teens Making an Impact: Meet James

Swim from Alcatraz to San Francisco? He did it.

Story

Having a dad in the U.S. Navy meant James has always lived near the coast. Despite his health struggles living with a rare disease, swimming became a passion and he recently became among the youngest people to swim the channel between Alcatraz Island and San Francisco. Learn more about James in this video created to honor him at the National Hemophilia Foundation's 70th Annual Bleeding Disorders Conference.
