A Walk to Remember

Alzheimer’s Services will hold our annual Walk/Run to Remember on October 20, 2012 at LSU “Old Front Nine.” Paul and Michele Gates have accepted the position of Honorary Chair Family for 2012. Paul announced last year that he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s Services is here to support Paul and Michele as well as the rest of our community. Our walk is held to raise awareness and funds in support of those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

We expect over 8,000 participants this year. On April 3, 2012 we will host our Corporate Sponsorship Breakfast of Champions at Juban’s Restaurant on Perkins Road. For more information contact me by phone 225-334-7494 or by email, dev2@alzbr.org. We serve 10 parishes in the Greater Baton Rouge Area and all funds raised here, stay here. The money is used to fund our many programs and services like Charlie’s Place Respite Center, a helpline information service, education programs, resource library and dementia training.


I look forward to meeting you.

Walk Coordinator
