Church home to participate in Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk

Diocesan News & Publications

Craig Lynch, board member September 01, 2009

A team of residents and staff at the Episcopal Church Home will be walking again this year in the Memory Walk. This will be the ninth year the church home will send participants.

 

The Alzheimer’s Association’s mission is to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease. Memory Walk is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Five million Americans currently live with Alzheimer’s, and  ten million baby boomers face a future living with this debilitating disease. The likelihood of someone in your extended family being affected by this disease is certain.

Help sponsor the Episcopal Church Home’s team by sending a check (made payable to “Alzheimer’s Association”) to

The walk is Saturday, Sept. 12 at 8:30 a.m. (ET) at the Waterfront Park Great Lawn in downtown Louisville.
