🌅 🕯️ The Memory Mile Walk is a community event dedicated to honoring loved ones affected by dementia, raising awareness, and supporting families impacted by memory loss and other cognitive changes. Participants will walk together at sunset in a meaningful, family-friendly setting, celebrating memories while helping fund local education, early detection, and support services. Every step taken brings connection, remembrance, and a stronger path forward for those living with dementia and their care partners.Together, we will walk one mile through the heart of Abingdon, beginning at the Visitor’s Center and continuing east along Main Street to the Washington County Courthouse, where we will pause for a group photo. The walk will then return west along Main Street, concluding back at the Visitor’s Center. Participants are encouraged to wear purple and will be provided with a battery-operated candle to carry throughout the walk, both as a symbol of hope and to raise awareness for those impacted by dementia. Along the route, luminaria will line the path, each one dedicated in memory or in honor of a loved one, creating a powerful and moving tribute that reflects both remembrance and resilience.
