Long Island Care Walks
Come join a Cooley’s Anemia Foundation (CAF) Care Walk on Long Island on May 7 and help fight Cooley’s anemia!
Care Walk is CAF’s annual fundraising walk-a-thon and opportunity to bring together the thalassemia community and its supporters around the country. The mission of the Cooley’s Anemia Foundation is to increase life expectancy and enhance the quality of life for those impacted by thalassemia, a class of genetic blood disorders, most of which require regular blood transfusions and aggressive management of chronic iron overload, the predominant cause of early death. We do so by funding medical research to advance treatment and curative approaches, by supporting and advising patients and their families and advocating on their behalf and by educating medical professionals and the general public.
Funds raised support medical research to fight thalassemia, as well as patient support services for thalassemia patients across the country.
There are two Care Walks planned, one in Nassau and one in Suffolk. You can register to be a part of either Walk or you can donate to a team or an individual participating in the Care Walk. Just click on the links below!
