A Memory Walk With A Purpose

Written by diane on August 2, 2008 – 9:06 am -

Saturdays and Sundays typically mean we get to stretch our legs and post things outside the fields of social media marketing.

Today is one of those days :)

Let’s face it, one of the most valuable things each of us has is our memories, be they great ones or one’s we’d rather not think about (even those serve a purpose to remind us what not to do in the future).

Alzheimer’s Memory Walk

But a devastating fact is that Alzheimer’s is a disease that strikes many, wiping all memories and impacting families.

The Alzheimer’s Association would like to make us all aware of the fact that raising awareness and money for research should be upper most in all of our minds.

The Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for research.

They are looking for volunteers of all ages to “become champions in the fight against Alzheimer’s.” With more than 600 walks in communities across the country, a typical walk is 2-3 miles. They hold these walks on weekend mornings in the fall.

You, too, can volunteer to “walk with a purpose” just click on the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk link featured above for more information.

    “Great post. I agree that you will need somekind of
    memory technique to remember things. I recommend you to visit this website at http://www.photographic-memory.org as it has plenty of useful tips on memory techniques and ways to improve your memory. “

    @Samantha - I’m fairly sure that Alheimzer’s is going to require a bit more than some memory techniques LOL! Not even sure if your visit was human or automated (I’m tending to lean toward the automated side).
