kellylee Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Does anyone in the US plan on going to any of the Walk4Hearing walks? They just announced the 2013 dates so you should find a walk near you! www.walk4hearing.org I've never gone before, but I am planning on attending this year and am really excited about raising money for a cause that is near and dear to my heart!

violinmemories Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Personally I have never made it to a Walk for Hearing event, but having said that I know a ton of people that have gone. They absolutely love it, I live in Delaware and happen to know of people from NJ that go to the Philadelphia, PA walk. It's an all day event and entire families and work groups attend. I've seen videos of past events and all sorts of people go from little kids all the way up to grandparents. It's a huge event and likely the different chapters or areas are covered by the media. It's a great way to get people to understand and notice how many people across the board are affected by hearing loss/deafness.

Guest Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 This is the first I've heard of Walk4Hearing. It does not look like there are any upcoming events planned for Alaska. That is too bad because it looks like a neat thing to get involved in.

violinmemories Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Maybe you could start a walk in Alaska!!! I know they do them in the lower 48. I would suggest contacting HLAA or the Walk4Hearing contact and find out how to get a walk in Alaska. I've been to Alaska and it's a beautiful state. Lots of hiking trails and wonderful history and people. Meredith Quote Link to comment https://forum.hearpeers.com/topic/131-walk4hearing/#findComment-332 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilla915 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hi everyone, To see the upcoming 2013 Walk4Hearing schedule and locations, visit the HLAA's Walk4Hearing page here. (See left side of page.) Since the MED-EL USA headquarters is in Durham, NC, a large group from the staff as well as local implant recipients, family and friends will be attending the Walk4Hearing event in Clemmons, NC on October 12 (our walking team is the MED-EL Super Hearoes) to raise awareness and support for hearing loss. Details on how to join the MED-EL Super Hearoes walking team will be provided later this year. MED-EL will also have a presence at the other Walk4Hearings around the country. If you attend, be sure to stop by the MED-EL table. To find out how you can get involved in your area, please contact HLAA (contact info at the above link). Hope to see you at a Walk4Hearing!

I have been on the Walk several times in the past 10 yrs up in Boston. Always a great opportunity to meet good people for a good cause! And do chat with Ronnie Adler who organizes it!

Proudcimom Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 My son and I went to the Walk4Hearing last year and had a great time! I think there were around 400 people and they raised approximately $40,000! Clemmons, NC is close to Winston-Salem. We'll be at the next walk on Oct.12.
