Memory Walk '06

If you were unable to attend one of our Memory Walks but would still like to support the Heart of America Chapter, you can do so by mailing your donation to the office:

Alzheimer’s Association
Heart of America Chapter
3846 W. 75th Street
Prairie Village, KS 66208
Attention Trisha McClanahan

Your Steps Will Make a Difference!

As the Memory Walk Ambassadors remind us in the picture above... We’re All in this Together...and if everyone takes just one step to get involved, we give everyone a reason to hope, until Alzheimer’s is just a memory.

Memory Walk is the signature fundraiser of the Alzheimer’s Association. Every dollar raised through Memory Walk will be used to provide programs and services to those individuals, families and caregivers in the Chapter’s bi-state service area battling the daily challenges of Alzheimer’s.
