The Metro DC Hope, Steps & A Cure Walk is a fun, festive fundraising and awareness walk to benefit AA&MDSIF programs, research and educational services. The walk will coincide with the AA&MDSIF annual 2010 Patient and Family Conference being held at the Bethesda Hyatt Regency. Patients and families will join together in this inspirational experience which provides hope that one day, a cure will be found for bone marrow failure diseases. Whether you're a survivor, patient, caregiver, family or friend, you will be inspired by joining others in this walk. The walk will take place on Sunday, July 11 at 5:00 pm, beginning at 3 Bethesda Metro Center, and it will continue along the nearby scenic and shady Capital Crescent Trail. There are two walk options: the regular 3 mile course and a shorter 1 mile course. Following the walk, there will be a celebration in Bethesda. We hope you’ll join us!
