Walk To End Alzheimer’s
-By Dylan Fletcher
Make sure you lace up the walking shoes and join Cat Country and myself for the "Walk To End Alzheimer's" Sunday at Riverfront Park. The Alzheimer's Association walk is one that I have been doing for years, as this disease has affected me personally with my grandfather having it.
Right now more than 5 million people in our country suffer from Alzheimer's. It is a devastating disease, as anyone that has to deal with it could tell you.
So Sunday you can stretch your legs and walk along with us. Get your family, friends, or co-workers to walk with you. Or just walk by yourself. Registration starts at 1pm, with the walking right around 2pm at Riverfront park...hope to see you there!" ~Dylan Fletcher
