The Northwest Iowa Memory Walk in George, IA had a great turn out on a sunny Saturday morning on September 26, 2009.  Friends, family, caregivers, and loved ones gathered at the George Good Samaritan Care Center where they would walk a mile on the newly built in path leading to Locker Park. Walkers and supporters pulled together showing their support as they walk to end Alzheimer’s. All together, there was over $10,000 raised to support the Lyon, O’Brian, Sioux, and Osceola counties.
