HAE Global Walk 2019
Good Afternoon HAE Canada Members,
Each year, HAEi organizes the HAE Global Walk to mark HAE Day on May 16. Last year Canada came out on top logging 9,000,000 steps, and HAE Canada is kindly asking the Canadian HAE community to please log another 9,000,000 steps in 2019.
Participation is easy. After taking a walk of any distance, alone or part of a group, you simply report the distance (in miles or kilometres) in the form found in the link below. Your steps will be added to other HAE steps from around the world. You can participate multiple times, recording each walk you go on.
This is a truly inspiring global HAE event and your participation will be greatly appreciated; we hope to see HAE Canada members put on their walking shoes to help raise HAE awareness.
Thank You,
the HAE Canada Team
