2020 Walk to End Alzheimer’s
Oct 10 all-day
Pack Square

Join me for Walk 'N Wear Wednesday with @alziowa! Wear purple, take a walk, post a picture with #walk2endalz, then join my  Walk to End Alzheimer's group and join my walk team!! bndfr.com/dZ7m8 pic.twitter.com/rjLvSgEG3e

The 2020 Walk to End Alzheimer’s has taken on a totally different look this year due to Covid 19. Please see the attached flyer that outlines Walk Day Saturday, October 10. We will not be gathering en masse at but we will walk individually or as teams in your neighborhoods, at a track, or a trail throughout the Asheville area.

So please join me on my team, BB’s Buddies, or start your own team and walk on Saturday, October 10 at your favorite walking place!

I realize fundraising in the middle of a pandemic is daunting. We will have a vaccine for the Coronavirus in time. But after years and years of research we still do not have a vaccine or cure or prevention for Alzheimer’s. The need is great to find a cure for Alzheimer’s, that is why I continue to support, and fundraise in the hope that one day no one will suffer from this devastating disease.

Black Bear Half Marathon
Oct 10 @ 7:00 am – 2:00 pm
Oklawaha Greenway

bear painting award for Black Bear Half Marathon

The Black Bear Half is 13.1 miles of flat and mostly paved trail that runs along the beautiful Oklahawa Greenway. With only 350 feet of elevation gain, road runners will LOVE this new course that starts and ends at Jackson Park (TBD) in Hendersonville NC. The route is an out-and-back, lollipop course, with one ‘self-service’ water station at the halfway point. Runners will complete the loop twice. We do encourage you to bring your own fuel, nutrition and refreshments for this event. GPS ROUTE COMING SOON
