Stride, stroll and step for Alzheimer's disease in the 1998 Memory Walk at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, at Capaha Park to benefit the Alzheimer's Association.

The dollars raised will help the Alzheimer's Association provide support groups, information, resources and educational programs for families. Individuals across the chapter who raise at least $50 will be entered in a drawing for two round-trip, domestic airline tickets compliments of TWA.
