On Saturday, September 12, 2009 the Alzheimer’s Association will be hosting a Memory Walk to help raise money and awareness about Alzheimer’s. The event will be held at Wetherington Golf and country Club in West Chester.
Registration for the walk begins at 9:00am with the walk starting at 10:00am. The Memory walk will be approximately 2.5 miles. Memory Walk is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research. Since 1989, Memory Walk has raised more than $260 million for the cause.
The Alzheimer's Association of Greater Cincinnati began in 1979 as a family support group for caregivers, relatives and friends of individuals with Alzheimer's disease. It became affiliated with the national Alzheimer's Association in 1980, was granted chapter status in 1983 and now serves a 27-county area in Southern Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and Southeastern Indiana. It is estimated that there are 44,000 individuals with Alzheimer's disease or a related disorder within the Greater Cincinnati Chapter territory.
