Ypsilanti, MI - The Hemophilia Foundation of Michigan is pleased to announce: Walkin' on the Wild Side for Hemophilia, its first annual fundraising walk at the Detroit Zoo.

Form a team, walk by yourself, or be a virtual walker -- support the cause without actually walking!  Adults, children, families, co-workers, and friends; people of all ages are encouraged to join the cause. Registration (with breakfast) begins at 7:45 am; the 2.1 mile Walk kicks off at 9:00 am.  There will be entertainment, prizes, and fun for all ages.  Everyone is invited to stay and enjoy a day at the zoo after the Walk.

Our fundraising goal is $100,000 -- just about the annual cost of treatment for a person with hemophilia.  Each walker who raises at least $100 will receive a Walkin' on the Wild Side t-shirt, souvenir water bottle, and $5 in "Zoo Bucks," good at any concession within the zoo.

A minimum donation of $10 is required for entry to the event.  There is no admission charge for children under 2 years of age.  This event is a FUNDRAISER -- we need everyone's help to meet our goal of $100,000 to support services for individuals with bleeding disorders and their families.
