21 June 2026 is World Music Day. We have many fantastic musicians in the Australian bleeding disorders community, but Fernando might just be our youngest.
From a young age, Fernando has loved playing guitar. Like any 11yo boy, he is often out playing soccer and basketball, but sometimes his haemophilia means he needs to take a break. So he set himself a goal – to get confident enough on guitar to play in front of his whole school.
Do you think he’s ready?
Video features Fernando playing a cover of Paradise by Coldplay.
