http://www.news12.com/WC/topstories/article?id=175626 From the News 12 website: Thousands of Westchester residents participate in annual March of Dimes
walk (04/30/06) WHITE PLAINS - Thousands of Westchester residents took part in
the annual March of Dimes Walk America fundraiser on Sunday in White Plains.
Sue Barjak says taking part in the eight-mile walk is the least her
family can do to repay the March of Dimes. She says if it wasn't for the
organization she doesn't know what would have happened to her twins. They
spent three months in the intensive care unit and were given a life-saving
drug that the March of Dimes helped to develop. But another group showed up to protest. Protestors say there are better
organizations to support that also do birth defect research and don't test
on animals, unlike the March of Dimes. The March of Dimes says it uses the
strictest guidelines when it comes to using animals in research. They add
the majority of studies are done on rats and mice. NOTE: There is a section on this link that allows for comments - please
