1.0 NATT Announces Two Events for March - Blhttp://www.stoptheclot.org/contact.htmood Clot Awareness Month
The National Alliance for Thrombosis and Thrombophilia (NATT) teams with the Association of Black Women Attorneys (ABWA) on a 5K walk to raise awareness about blood clots, particularly within the African American population. ABWA's Community Service Committee chose to sponsor this 5K walk on Saturday, March 20, 2010 because March is Blood Clot Awareness Month. The walk begins at 11:00 AM, in Prospect Park Brooklyn, although "Check-In" begins at 10:00 AM at the Bartel Pritchard Square entrance at Prospect Park West and 15th Street in Brooklyn.
Georgia's Boutique in Soho, NY, on Thursday, March 25, 2010 from 6:00-9:00 PM is hosting a reception to celebrate the success of the walk and to continue the effort to fundraise for NATT and alert attendees about the risk of blood clots. We are honored that Dr. Sharif Ellozy, a vascular surgeon from Mount Sinai Medical Center, is scheduled to speak at this event.
