Alzheimer’s walk a huge success

The Alzheimers Society held their Annual Sponsored 10 Mile Walk from The Square, In Newtownhamilton to Gerard Tyres, in Armagh on Sunday 19th April.

Mickey Brady, speaking at the event said, “I am heartened to see so many take part in this worthy event.

“The Alzheimers Society and The Chest Heart Stroke Association provide help to thousands of people in the north throughout the year and are an essential source of information and aid for familys who live with these conditions.

“I cannot give enough praise to the volunteers who dedicate their time to providing practical services and support for people with Alzheimer’s and their carers.”

Proceeds of the walk went to two local charities, Alzheimer’s Society and the Chest, Heart and Stroke Association.
