Message from NHF and Baxter
On behalf of the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF) and Baxter Healthcare Corporation, we are proud to be entering into the third season of our partnership on the Hemophilia Walk program. Baxter’s investment of over $1 million to date and the tireless efforts of NHF and its chapters have yielded unprecedented success through the first-ever national fund raising program for the bleeding disorders community..
As a result of our collective efforts, in just the first two years of the program, NHF and its chapters have raised over $2.3 million and engaged 10,000 walkers, with those numbers certain to grow as we enter our third year with events in 14 locations. Enthusiastic participants enlist family members, friends and co-workers to form fund raising teams, whose energetic efforts have made the events successful on so many levels – including funds and public awareness.
While the walks provide a wonderful opportunity for old friends to gather, they also foster new relationships. For some families, this may be the first time they meet other families affected by bleeding disorders. To enable this to happen, and have fun in the process, makes our efforts together all the more worthwhile...
