Walk Through the Summer

Great Lakes Hemophilia Foundation

Headline News - November 2010

Jessica Kveen, Special Event Coordinator

Wisconsin hosted three Walks this summer and raised over $60,000!

A huge thank you to our walkers, volunteers, committee members, NHF staff, our sponsors and donors. Way to go!

Milwaukee’s Hemophilia Walk saw over 250 walkers on the Milwaukee Mile. Teaming up with NHF and 13 other chapters across the nation was a great experience. Walkers were able to raise money and awareness for research, education, advocacy, early diagnosis, and blood safety. After the walk everyone was able to enjoy the fun and excitement of Harvest Fair.

One more thank you to our Hemophilia Walk Sponsors!

Friendship Walk for Bleeding Disorders was a first time event in Neenah this September! We had a great turnout with over 50 walkers. Walkers enjoyed a walk along the Friendship Trail, then returned to games and a picnic lunch. A huge thank you to ThedaCare our presenting sponsor. Also thank you to Carmen Hass and the entire family, and all the friends they brought into to help organize the event! Nice Job!
