View(s):

World Alzheimer’s Month is celebrated worldwide in September. Sri Lanka also joins in with the Lanka Alzheimer’s Foundation organizing its first event for the month – Run to Remember on Saturday, September 7. On its fifth year, the event is hosted by the Taj Samudra Hotel – where the Run kicks off at 4 p.m. from the Regency lawn. At the end of the run, the hotel will host all participants to a delicious high tea!

The Lanka Alzheimer’s Foundation looks forward to seeing more participants this year, to create more awareness on Dementia and its related diseases. Friends of LAF – the Hash Harriers who have supported this event from its inception will also be there in their numbers adding colour and fellowship.

Volunteers will be spread out along the route of the run of five kilometres distributing brochures to the public with information on the disease and the services of the Foundation. Runners will be briefed on the route before they commence with the Run! Water is being provided once again by Pet Packaging, another loyal donor and memorabilia will be available from caps to T shirts and other items – all to support the work of the LAF.

Please call the LAF office during any weekday on 2667080 for more information on the event and registration.

All are invited to register with friends and participate in this annual event.
