SUBJECT:

March of Dimes WalkAmerica

I am pleased to announce that UCSD will be participating in the March
of Dimes WalkAmerica on April 29, 1995. WalkAmerica is the March of
Dimes' primary fund-raising event; this year marks the 25th
anniversary of WalkAmerica. Proceeds from the annual event benefit a
wide range of research and treatment programs for birth defects.
Several units at UCSD have received support from the March of Dimes
including the Department of Biology and the neonatal unit at the
medical center. In 1994, our neighbor, the Salk Institute, received
nearly $1.5 million in funding from the organization.

There are two locations for the walk--- at the Sea World East Parking
lot and in Carlsbad at Holiday Park (Chestnut Street and Pio Pico
Avenue). The official start time is 7:00 a.m. with both a 7 mile and
a 12 mile route at each site. Each registered walker will receive a
T-shirt which will identify you as a "UC San Diego Team Walker."

I urge you get out and walk. Past participants have been very
enthusiastic about the experience and describe it as a fun family
affair. Entry forms and sponsor sheets are available from the
following individuals; please contact them for more information
concerning the event.
