Dear
Friends
Mass Exercise Workout cum
Memory Walk, Sunday, 22 March 2009
The
Alzheimer’s Disease Association will be organising a Community
Outreach Public Education Programme as part of its Dementia
Awareness Week in March 2009 to promote greater awareness of
dementia. (Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of
dementia).
We would
like to invite you to participate in the Mass Exercise Workout cum
Memory Walk on Sunday, 22 March 2009 at the Marina Floating
Platform (next to Esplanade Theatre). Arrival of
participants is from 8am- 8.30am. The Guest-of-Honour will arrive
at 8.45am and the Mass Exercise Workout will start at 9am followed
by a 2.8km walk at 9.30am. There will be fringe activities (Learn
to Play Sports Stations, Carnival Games, Stage performances) after
the Walk.
The cause of dementia is not well understood, but certain risk
factors are known, especially cardiovascular risks, hypertension,
diabetes and smoking. Research shows that some simple ways such as
leading a healthy lifestyle by eating right, staying mentally and
physically active can reduce the risks of developing dementia to
either delay or prevent onset. The mass exercise workout and walk
event is to promote awareness in reducing the risks of dementia
Admission is free and participants will receive a T-shirt, Thera
Band for the exercise and a goodie bag.
