2006 Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk Los Angeles

The Memory Walk was a huge success again this year.  They announced that this walk alone had raised over $500,000 and counting.  I won't even attempt to estimate how many people were there, let's just call it "thousands".

I'm guessing, but the Los Angeles walk has got to be one of the largest of all the walks held around the country.  The actual walk part was supposed to be 3 miles but it couldn't have been much more than a mile. 

There was live music, information booths from various companies and organizations and some food.

Since this is Los Angeles, there were also celebrities.  Celebrities whose lives have also been affected by Alzheimer's.  They come out year after year to take part, help raise money and to cheer the rest of us on.

Thanks to everyone invovled.
