- Harmony in Hemophilia – HTC Wall of Walkers Unite Walk Challenge Update
by Karen BoweOur initiative to enhance relationships between HTCs and Chapters and to increase HTC participation in NHFs Unite Walk program is working! So far, we have 17 HTC teams registered. Of walks scheduled in July and August, HTCs teams participated in 5 of the 6 total walks. And of the 20 walks scheduled in September, we currently have 10 HTC teams registered. As the walk season gets into full swing in September and October, we anticipate registrations will continue to increase.
As a reminder, all HTC participating teams will be acknowledged on the HTC Wall of Walkers located on the Unite Day landing page on NHFs website. The HTC team name along with photos or a logo will be featured in a scrolling fashion and the site will be continuously updated throughout the season. In addition, the 5 highest fundraising teams will receive a $1000 travel scholarship to the 2022 NHF Bleeding Disorders Conference to be held in Houston, TX Aug 25th – 27th. The Hemophilia Alliance thanks everyone for your participation and efforts to benefit your local Chapter.
Happy Walking!!
