2007 Memory Walk Volunteers

Volunteers help us accomplish and further our mission by helping to expand programs and services to make a difference for people affected by Alzheimer's disease. Whether you have a lot of time or just a little, we can use you. Volunteers come from all walks of life - men, women, young and old, professionals, homemakers with children and retirees - anyone who has a genuine interest in helping.
