    WALK OF LIFE 2010 TO BE HELD IN LOS ANGELES ON NOVEMBER 13

    Tert.am
    10.11.10

    The Armenian Bone Marrow Donor Registry (ABMDR) announced that its
    fifth annual walkathon, Walk of Life 2010, will take place on Saturday,
    November 13 in Glendale, California.

    A 3K/6K walk event, the walkathon will begin in front of Glendale
    Memorial Hospital and conclude at Verdugo Park, where subsequently a
    community festival will be held, featuring food and live entertainment,
    with performances by a number of popular singers and bands.

    The annual walkathon continues to garner broad community and
    mainstream support, including sponsorships by corporations, healthcare
    establishments, local government, elected officials, and artists who
    donate their talent.

    Walk of Life 2010 is co-sponsored by Glendale Memorial Hospital and the
    City of Glendale. The event is chaired by Arpi Kestenian of Glendale
    Memorial Hospital and has five honorary co-chairs.

    Participants can register for the upcoming walkathon through the ABMDR
    website (abmdr.am) or in person on the day of the event. They have
    the option of registering as individuals or teams, and can take part
    in the walkathon in honor or memory of a loved one. As with previous
    walkathons, many teams representing Armenian and public schools as
    well as student associations from community colleges and universities
    have signed up for Walk of Life 2010.

    "This is a wonderful occasion that will bring together participants
    from throughout our community for a great cause," said Dr. Frieda
    Jordan, president of the ABMDR Board of Directors. "So far the response
    we've received has been nothing short of heartwarming, with hundreds
    of people signing up."

    Participants of Walk of Life 2010 will be supporting the
    life-saving activities of the ABMDR, Dr. Jordan said. A nonprofit
    pan-Armenian organization, the ABMDR helps Armenians worldwide survive
    life-threatening blood-related illnesses by recruiting and matching
    donors to those requiring bone marrow stem cell transplants.

    Dr. Jordan added that the ABMDR is encouraging supporters throughout
    the world to bring their virtual participation to the upcoming
    walkathon, by creating teams and raising funds through the registry's
    website.
