6th Annual MAA's Walk
Saturday, September 6, 2008 11:00 am
Welcome
to MAA's Walk!
MAA's Walk is a 5k walk for
Organ Donor awareness and
heart failure treatment and
transplant
education. This walk was founded by the Ahearn family of Bergenfield, NJ, in
conjunction with
Newark
Beth Israel Medical Center, in memory of our Mom,
Mary Anne Ahearn.
Our
event consists of a kids walk and a 5k walk, plus food, music, face painting and
more!
Verona Park is a beautiful dog-friendly park setting with playgrounds,
walking trails and paddle boats, making it a perfect spot for a full day of
family fun! Over the past five
years, MAA’s Walk has raised almost $150,000 to support the programs that help
heart failure and transplant patients at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center.
For the first time, MAA’s Walk
will support both adult and pediatric heart health at Newark Beth Israel Medical
Center and Children’s Hospital of New Jersey. Proceeds
from MAA’s Walk have gone towards buying much needed equipment for the
transplant program at NBIMC, as well as funding the Community Chest Medicine
program – transplant patients require thousands of dollars of medicine per month
for life and this program is there to help them when there are lapses or
problems with insurance.
So, step up for MAA’s Walk
and join us on September 6th!!
