The Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walks for 2010 are getting underway. The Association describes the program:
Memory Walk is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research — and it calls on people of all ages to take action in the fight. Year-round, our participants are leaders in the effort to defeat this devastating disease.
