NORWOOD – Starting today, your dinner plans could help change lives. “Team Axe Factor” has officially launched their annual “Fun Pasta Fundraising” campaign. Running from April 15th through April 29th, the initiative aims to raise vital funds for the New England Hemophilia Association (NEHA) and the upcoming 2026 Unite for Bleeding Disorders Walk.
For Norwood resident Kristina Robinson and her family, this mission is deeply personal. The team is inspired by Axel and Daisy, the young faces of the campaign, whose journey with bleeding disorders has turned their family into unstoppable advocates.
“This cause means everything to our family,” says Kristina Robinson on her fundraising page. “Your support helps ensure better care, resources, and community for those living with bleeding disorders.”
The fundraiser offers a whimsical twist on a kitchen staple. Supporters can purchase a variety of themed pasta shapes through an easy-to-use online portal. Whether it’s pasta shaped like sports gear, animals, or holiday themes, every bag sold contributes directly to the team’s goal.
Proceeds are earmarked for three critical pillars including education, advocacy and Community Programming. Money raised will help provide families with the latest medical information and management strategies and fund retreats, family camps, and support groups that remind patients they are never alone.
The Robinson family has set an ambitious goal for this year, and they are already leading the pack. Current leaderboards for the New England Hemophilia Association’s Unite Walk show Kristina Robinson and Team Axe Factor as top fundraisers, having already raised over $2,200 toward their season total.
“We want to sell out together,” the family shared in a message to the community. “Every box of pasta ships right to your home, making it one of the easiest ways to make a tangible difference.”
The Unite for Bleeding Disorders Walk, which the pasta fundraiser supports, is the flagship event for NEHA, scheduled to take place later this September at Prowse Farm in Canton, MA. Events like the Robinson’s pasta sale are crucial for the organization, which serves families across all six New England states.
