The founders of the Lanka Alzheimers Foundation were present together with about 30 other people attending the walk. It started off at Cinnamon Grand and we walked about 4km over Galle Road and back carrying posters, balloons and handing out leaflets to passers by. The walk took about 1 and a half hours and when we came back there was the raffle draw which we sold tickets for.
With Ms. Lorraine who together with her husband started the Lanak Alzheimers Foundation. |
Overall this was a pretty succesfull event and I think we raised awareness especially because we handed out leaflets, the only thing we need to do better next year is the publication of the walk. Many people especially in school didn't know about it simply because we didn't mention it or hung up posters, but this will be done better next year. :)
