A one mile walk and 5K is scheduled in Las Vegas on September 27, 2014 with goals to raise at least $50,000 to benefit The Nevada Chapter of the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF Nevada), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that will use the funds raised to send children with inherited bleeding disorders to a special medically supervised camp at no cost.

Additional funds will also support ongoing programs that include support groups for the newly diagnosed and their families, a youth support group dealing with the challenges of managing their condition, and financial assistance programs to help provide medicine and basic living needs.

You can register at www.hfnv.org, by calling 702-564-4368 or day of the event (starting at 7:30 am).

The Walk & 5K begins at 8:30 am at Floyd Lamb Park, 9200 Tule Springs Road, LV 89131.
