1st Annual Long Island Walk for Infertility!

Did anyone see this:

LI Walk for IF

Re: 1st Annual Long Island Walk for Infertility!

If I was going to be home, I would do it.

Re: 1st Annual Long Island Walk for Infertility!

thats awesome for advocacy, but why is there a registration fee for walking? I have never heard of that before?

also its a bit odd that its organized by a clinic, and not by say resove with the clinic sponsoring it

Re: 1st Annual Long Island Walk for Infertility!

Its in co-ordination with AFI. And not for nothing but ECF sponsor our board here for IF.

Hopefully, they are doing something with the money they collect. The question is WHAT? What does "support services and educational programs" mean? Maybe so the AFI can continue their programs. How about a walk to help ppl who cannot afford IVF treatments and the money goes to them? Oh, that would be all of us...LOL...

I agree, kinda strange. I didn't look too closely.

And of course if you are not open about IF then you would not be doing a walk.

I think it's a great idea!! It says all procedes go to the AFA so I think the clinic is just setting it up (maybe?). I think most run/walks have registration fees to cover t-shirt/organizational costs.

Is anyone planning on going?

I wish I could, but I'll be on bedrest at that point and it's the same day as the March of Dimes walk...
