Teams Encouraged to Join Walk to End Alzheimer’s
Organizers are preparing for the Stephens County Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The walk will be held on Sunday, November 14 starting at First Baptist Church of Toccoa on East Tugalo Street.
The event is over a month away, but Team Captain Lisa Lawson encourages listeners to organize your team today. “Form a team. Even though the walk is a month and a half away you still have time to form teams to raise money for the walk.”
The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the largest annual fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association. Your donation will help provide care and support to those facing Alzheimer’s and all forms of dementia. Lawson says nearly everyone has been affected by Alzheimer’s. ”I have been touched by it. My dad had early onset Alzheimer’s, my grandmother had it, my aunt had it. It is so important to fight for the first survivor, fight for a cure, and they are getting closer.”
Lawson says businesses can also help in different ways. “We are reaching out to business owners and asking them if they would like to designate a date and time just for the Alzheimer’s Walk and donate a percentage of sales for the walk. Steve Black t Junior’s Bar and Grill is also putting together a Ride for a Cure on October 28. So that will be a great day to help raise funds.”
Again, the Walk to End Alzheimer’s is Sunday, November 14th starting at 2 P.M. at First Baptist Church of Toccoa. For more information and how you can donate to the walk call Lisa Lawson at 706-491-2347.
