In a world where connections often feel fleeting, the Alzheimer’s Association invites you to rekindle that sense of unity on Saturday, October 26. Join a community walk in Lynchburg, where every step echoes the hope to combat Alzheimer's.
A Purposeful Gathering
This isn’t just a walk; it’s a movement. With the goal of raising $115,000, this event underscores the local commitment that has already seen an impressive $91,000 collected. Participants will don colored flowers as symbols of their personal connections to the disease, turning the walk into a vibrant tapestry of shared experiences and collective strength.
Celebrating Unity and Support
Organizer Mary Sandridge emphasizes that this event is more than a fundraising effort; it’s an uplifting celebration of togetherness. For so many touched by Alzheimer’s—whether directly or indirectly—this walk offers an important reminder that no one is alone in their struggle. Each flower represents a story, a journey, and the resilient spirit of those affected.
An Inspiring Moment
As participants gather, an opening ceremony at 9:30 am will set the tone for the day, fostering a renewed sense of hope and connection. This moment of togetherness will remind everyone that being part of a community can be a powerful force against a disease that often isolates individuals and families. As the clock strikes 10:00 am, walkers will take their first steps, showcasing a powerful statement of change and support.
Empowering Change Through Action
Why walk? Because every step taken not only supports vital research but also paves the way for future advancements in Alzheimer's care and prevention. Your participation helps amplify the voices of those affected and provides critical funding for the Alzheimer’s Association’s initiatives. Together, we can foster awareness and provide assistance for caregivers and families fighting the impact of this challenging disease.
