Hemophilia Walk Arizona 2008

ARIZONA RAISE OVER $37,000

Chaparral Park is a 100-acre park constructed in the Indian Bend Wash, providing a lush greenbelt with a 10-acre lake for urban fishing and boating. The park is located in Scottsdale Arizona and shares recreation path system that is ideal for running, walking, biking, and rollerblading. For a map of Chaparral Park, click here. The walk started at the Central Ramada just South of the Jackrabbit Road enterance. The walk continued around to the West side of the lake. The course circled the lake path counterclockwise twice and finished just north of the Multi-use Court.

The event was Nationally sponsored by Baxter, Bayer HealthCare, CSL Behring, Grifols, and Wyeth. The local Sponsors were CSL Behring, Valley of the Sun United Way, Wells Fargo, AZVerveVending, and VitaminWater.

The goals of our team was to raise awareness of Hemophilia within our community and city. Our goal was to get 100 people on our team, we came up a little short. We didn't have the most colorful shirts, see picture. Our team was easy to find in a croud.

We all had fun and were invited to a post walk party at Firesky Resort. It is a beautiful resort in central Scottsdale.

I would like to thank all the sponsors and participants for helping raise the awareness of Hemophilia in Arizona. Next YEAR - 100.
