Inver Grove Heights, MN, February 8, 2010, 2010 – The Minnesota Chapter of the National Blood Clot Alliancewill host the first National Signature walk to Stop The Clot® on Saturday, May 15, 2010 from 9:00 am – 11:00 am at Centennial Lakes Park in Edina, MN. www.centenniallakespark.com.
Each day, 14 Minnesotans die from a blood clot. Many of these deaths could have been prevented if the signs and symptoms were recognized and proper treatment was provided. The Stop The Clot® walk will raise funds and awareness to help educate patients, healthcare providers and the general public about the signs, symptoms and risk factors of blood clots.
