Every year communities all across the country have memory walks to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's research, care and support. The typical walk last 2-3 miles. That is not a long way to walk for a good cause. Here in Pittsburgh the Memory Walk is scheduled for October 6, 2007.
You can sign up just to walk or you can be a team captain. Age knows no bounds for this walk. People of all ages are encouraged to participate. You can even sign up as a corporate team. That makes starting a team easy, just ask a few coworkers and you're good to go.
If you don't want to walk, or something prevents you from walking during the actual event, you can be a volunteer. You can help plan activities to take place before and after the memory walk or help recruit people to walk. Even going to the event and cheering on the walkers.
Need an added incentive? How about the chance to win a weekend trip to Las Vegas. For every $500 you raise you get 1 entry into the contest. There are 2 vacation packages being given away. Both including airfare, hotel rooms, show tickets (Elton John or Toni Braxton) and a $100 gift certificate for food.
So get out and get some exercise and help raise money for a great cause.
