Last Wednesday, students at Wetumpka Middle School wore red to raise awareness of hemophilia in honor of one of their classmates, eighth grader Chance Abrams.

The idea came from Abrams’ algebra teacher, Tracy Wright. He suggested teachers wear red to raise awareness after students wore pink the week before to support breast cancer awareness. Growing up, Wright had a friends who had hemophilia.
