Alzheimer's Memory Walk gets annual support from walkers



The Southeastern Virginia Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association recently held their annual Memory Walk in the scenic Prince Woods subdivision of Suffolk. Memory Walk is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research. The Alzheimer's Association envisions a world without Alzheimer's and has raised more than $230 million dollars towards this goal.
