What would you do if you were diagnosed with a serious illness and told there was “nothing more that can be done”?
Thousands of seriously ill patients are needlessly suffering without getting the treatments they need to reclaim their lives. We’re here to help.
ABOUT THE TREK
Join hundreds of other trekkers on October 10, 2009, as they travel along the scenic Los Gatos Creek Trail from Oak Meadow Park to Lexington Reservoir and back, (7 miles for the full distance, but you choose how far you want to walk.)
This is not a race. Walkers of all ages and levels can participate. You will be provided with rest stops, inc. food, water, friendly volunteers and medical support, (if necessary). All you need to do is bring the family and walk! Dogs, strollers and wheelchairs are welcome.
The route will be paved for the first 1.5 miles into Los Gatos, with a dirt trail for 2 miles up to Lexington Reservoir. Wear comfortable footwear. If you don't feel you can walk the full distance, you may turn around at any time.
PLEASE NOTE THE NEW LOCATION AND TIMES:
Check-in begins at Oak Meadow Park at 9:30 am
The route opens at 10:30 am.
The B.B.Q. will begin at 11:30 am
After you've walked, join us for a great BBQ and community fair. A Marrow Donor Registry and Blood Drive will also be held, courtesy of the National Marrow Donor Program and The Stanford Blood Center. "Recycle life. Donate blood."

ABOUT THE ERIC DREW FOUNDATION
The Eric Drew Foundation began in 2003 as a nonprofit fund to help Eric get the medical care he needed to fight a “terminal” Leukemia. His struggle with the health care system to find a treatment led to the EDF becoming an organization focused on educating and advocating for seriously ill patients.
