Alzheimers walk April 2
Many students see the local county requirements of
graduation project as another
hoop they must jump through
in order to graduate. However,
some students use this assignment as a way to give back to
their community.
Hanna Bell is a senior
at Pender High School who
is trying to give back to her
community through her senior project. Hanna has researched Alzheimers disease
and has created a fundraiser
for the Alzheimer’s Association. Hanna’s grandmother
had Alzheimer’s disease. The
emotional toll that it has on
families has encouraged her to
want to learn more about the
disease and help raise money
to find a cure. During the time
she has worked on this project, she has met many victims
and families that struggle
with these issues everyday.
April 2 at Pender High
School, the community of
Burgaw and the surrounding
areas will come together for
the walk-a-thon “Moving to
find a Cure” for Alzheimers.
Hanna Bell has worked with
Pender Adult Services to arrange the first annual Moving to Find a Cure 5K run that
will begin at 9 a.m. and a mile
or more walk will begin at 10
a.m.
“My goal for this walk is to
raise over $5,000 to donate to
the Alzheimer’s Association,”
Bell said.
Corporate sponsors for
the event include Burgaw Eye
Care, Black River Health Services, and Pender Adult Services. All proceeds from this
event will go directly to the
association.
For more information or
to donate to the cause, contact Hanna Bell at 232.8401
or hbell172428@aol.
Applications are also available at
Pender Adult Services, 901 S.
Walker Street, Burgaw.
Registration starts at 8:30
a.m. April 2. The cost is $25 per
person or at least $25 worth of
sponsors per person.
