LAF Events for World Alzheimer’s Month

The Lanka Alzheimer’s Foundation joins the world this September in bringing attention to dementia, particularly in the context of Sri Lanka’s ageing population. LAF will initiate three high-profile activities to draw public attention and create awareness. A 5-kilometre "Run to Remember" starts at the Taj Samudra on Saturday, 2nd September at 4 p.m. A roadshow will educate on dementia - its risks, prevention and caregiving - featuring Power of Play and their popular Mahadenamutta and Golayas puppets. The show premieres at the Colombo Public Library on World Alzheimer’s Day, 21st September, and travels to Gampaha and Galle that week. A "Memory Walk" starting at Cinnamon Grand on the 23rd will highlight the importance of physical and mental activity and that it is ‘never too early, never too late’ to identify and reduce risks as we grow older. More details are on LAF’s Facebook page.
