William Lynch was born in 1960 in Fall River, Massachusetts. He went to school in Fall River; his mother was a nurse and his father was a school principal. When he was diagnosed with hemophilia at age one, it came as a surprise to his family because there was no history. He has two brothers, neither of whom has the disease. Billy attended Bridgewater State College, is single and works with the retarded. He feels that Factor manufacturers should have admitted that they made mistakes. He feels lucky to be alive and healthy and would never have imagined that he’d be this well in 2005. Billy has severe Factor VIII, HIV and Hepatitis C Interview with William Lynch for the Boston Hemophilia Center Oral History Project, A Gift of Experience, by Christine Harland, September 20, 2004
