The
Diabetes Association, Inc.
(DAI) of Fall
River and New Bedford held their 7th Annual “Keep Moving for Camp
Kyle” Walk-a-thon at Buttonwood Park in New Bedford on May 10, 2008. The
walk kicked off at 9:00 a.m. sharp and took walkers around the south end
of the park and back to the warming house. The event, which this year
raised approximately $31,000, helps to raise funds to support
Camp Kyle, a
summer camp dedicated to children with diabetes. Anyone with an interest
in making a donation should contact
Amber Vlangas at the
Diabetes Association at 508-672-5671. |
