Through SocialSpark, I found out that there are going to be over 600 "Memory Walks" scheduled this fall all across the United States. The Memory Walk® is organized by Alzheimer's Association and is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research.
The event calls on volunteers of all ages to become champions in the fight against Alzheimer's. A typical Memory Walk is a 2-3 mile walk held on a weekend morning in the fall.
In my neck of the woods the the closest Alzheimer's Memory Walk is going to be:
Duluth Towne Green
Duluth, Georgia
Date: October 25, 2008 - 11:00 am
Length: 3 miles
I think that we can all agree that Alzheimer's is a disease that should be eradicated as soon as possible. It is a terrible disease that strikes indiscriminately. My great uncle suffered from it.
