We're on the MOVE to end Alzheimer's!
If you're the kind of person who's not going to sit on the sidelines when there's a chance to change the future, then you're the person we need. With more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's, and nearly 10 million more serving as caregivers, the time to act is now!
When you register for the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk®, you're joining a nationwide community of thousands of people who are standing up and participating in the fight against this devastating disease.
Where: Blossom Music Center, 1145 W. Steels Corners Road, Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44223
When: Saturday, October 2, 2010; Check-In: 8:30 a.m.; Walk Begins: 9:30 a.m.
Length: Approx. 2 miles (You do not have to walk the entire distance to participate)
Although there is no registration fee for this event, we encourage all of our walkers to raise money for the cause. Raise $100 or more and receive a 2010 Memory Walk T-shirt!
