Yesterday marked the walk for Alzheimer's which happens each year to celebrate the day and raise awareness. I took part in this with my friends who are also involved in this service. I got there a bit early and while waiting, we were a bit worried because of the sudden showers but clouds soon cleared away. Phew! I took one of the boards which said : "we can make a difference" which made me feel privileged and proud as it was the first meaningful action I took for this cause. It was a walk around Colombo, starting from Cinnamon Grand, all the way down Kollupitiya-Galle Road and back to Cinnamon Grand. On the way, we held high those boards and some shared leaflets and brochures that gave clearer information on dementia, what it is and what we can do. It was amazing to see many people from different culture, backgrounds and age groups come under a united cause. Although I felt a bit tired afterwards, it was an awesome experience that made me feel proud and good in heart as I took part in something meaningful.
