Columbia Senior Care Employees Walk to End Alzheimers

The Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's. Agape Senior has committed to sponsor and walk in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s for the entire state of South Carolina. Saturday, October 15 was the Midlands Walk to End Alzheimer’s at Finlay Park. This walk was particularly special with the addition of the “Promise Garden” remembrance ceremony. Each walker was given a flower that represented their journey as a caregiver, survivor, or someone who currently has the disease. Each petal can be inscribed with their loved ones name and story.

At the beginning of the walk, we collected all of the flowers and made a garden, so that when they returned they could walk through the Promise Garden. It was a wonderfully symbolic moment. The walk was a huge success and Team Agape was one of the largest teams! Thank you to everyone that walked and participated in our fundraisers. Due to your generosity we were able to raise over $500 for the Alzheimer’s Association. A special thank you as well to our fellow Alzheimer’s Walk Committee Members and to Ashley Hacker for making this year’s Walk a success!
