Take Me To Post Comment Form


Saturday, November 1,family and business teams braved extremely cold weather and joined enthusiastically in walking ten laps around the Bulloch Academy Track to raise public awareness of dementia causing illnesses and to raise funds for the many free services provided to this community by the Alzheimer's Association. Click on the albumn for candid shots of some of the participants.
Watch this space for details about the funds raised(3 times what was raised last year), the number of participants (3 or 4 times the number that walked last year).
