The Alzheimers Association's Memory Walk 2009 - Be on the move with Home Instead Senior Care of Richmond!
Today an estimated 5.3 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s. In addition, 78 million baby boomers are approaching the age of greatest risk for developing this fatal disease. Now is the time to ACT to end this epidemic!
The Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk® is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research – and it calls on volunteers of all ages to become champions in the fight against this fatal disease. Since 1989, Memory Walk has raised more than $260 million for the cause.
Memory Walk is a community event that joins friends, family and co-workers as they walk to end Alzheimer’s. Participants typically register in teams of 10-12 and fundraise using tools supported by the Alzheimer’s Association. Walks vary from one to three miles and are held in nearly 600 locations nationwide.
Please join us in taking steps to end Alzheimer’s. This year, to support those affected by Alzheimer’s, Home Instead Senior Care of Richmond is participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk® to raise funds and awareness to fight this disease.
The Alzheimer’s Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research, and funds we raise will go directly toward supporting their efforts.
