#teamilarna
ilarna’s team recently joined the Alzheimer’s Society for their annual memory walk in honour of those affected by Alzheimer’s.
The walk took place in Sutton Park, and we joined the wave of blue on the longer 5km route which took us through some beautiful scenery across the lakeside, through the woodlands and moors. We were blessed with warm weather and had a wonderful morning being a part of a hugely emotional event.
It was such a heart-warming atmosphere being in the community and listening to stories being shared, and meeting so many people whose lives have been affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
The morning featured a lovely mix of heartfelt emotional stories, some tears and lots of smiles and giggles. Before setting off on our journey we were greeted with an energetic Zumba class which the whole team got stuck in with! Along the course many volunteers cheered us on and shared words of encouragement. The energy from the crowd was buzzing and pushed us forward on that final stretch (which turned out to be a hill!).
We’d like to take the opportunity to thank the Alzheimer’s Society for hosting the event and for all the incredible time and effort put into making it the success it was!
Here’s to next year!
