The
annual Walk for Kids with Leukemia walk-a-thon, sponsored by the
Richelieu Club of Fall River, was held at Kennedy Park, in a pouring
rainstorm on June 24, 2006. About fifteen members of the Fall River
Richelileu Club showed up but only four members decided to try a short
walk to symbolize the annual walk that raises funds for
the Richelieu Charity Fund where proceeds go to
research and other help for kids with leukemia. The Richelieu Charity
Fund is a 501 (3) © tax exempt charity and your contributions are
deductible.
In addition to providing some heart-healthy exercise, the walk raises
awareness about the need for further research into this disease. Those
who wish to make a donation, can mail them to Armand Dallaire, Richelieu
Club of Fall River, 38 Eastern Ave., Fall River, Mass. 02723-2509, or
call him at (508) 674-2093.
