2010 Alzheimer's Association Chicago Memory Walk
The 2010 Alzheimer's Association Chicago Memory Walk is just
around the corner and we are in full fundraising mode at Covenant
Methodist Senior Services! This event raises more awareness
and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research than any other
in the nation. Since 1989, the Memory Walk has raised more
than $300 million for the cause.
Last year, CMSS raised over $5,000 and had 20 people,
along with a few dogs, make the trek. As an organization with
a specific focus on memory care, we are looking forward to
supporting this fantastic cause once again. If you'd like
join our team by walking or making a donation, please call
773-506-6950 for more information. For details on the event,
visit the Alzheimer's Association website: www.alz.org/memorywalk.
The 5k walk will be held Saturday, September 11 at 10:00 am at
the Lincoln Park South Field.
We are on the move to end Alzheimer's. Hope to see you
there!
