Hadassah Northeast is hosting the 4th annual 1.7-mile family Walk for Health on Sunday, September 20, 2015 at The Chestnut Hill Reservoir, Cleveland Circle, Brighton. This year’s walk will benefit the Hadassah Medical Organization (HMO), who treats approximately one million patients a year without regard to race, religion or nationality. HMO receives severely ill or injured patients whom other hospitals turn away because they lack the expertise to heal them. HMO is the most technologically advanced medical center in the Middle East, with work including stem cell research, macular degeneration, heart health and pediatric oncology. Last year’s event drew close to 100 people and raised $16,000 for Hadassah. This year, Hadassah Northeast is hoping to increase donations by 25 percent to help continue to support HMO. This year’s walkathon will be kicked off by Past 24th National President of Hadassah Nancy Falchuck and a representative from the Israeli Consulate. In addition, this walk celebrates the end of this year’s Every Step Counts Walking Program, established by Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America, Inc. Every Step Counts has challenged women and their families to walk their way to increased health and track their progress online. Since the Every Step Count’s inception in April 2015, the program has already facilitated hundreds of public walking events with thousands of participants.
