Event Details
The Alzheimer's Association is teaming up with fitness centers and gyms across the state on Tuesday, June 9 for a special awareness initiative, #Sweat4YourBrain, to let people know that exercise is not only good for the body, it's good for the brain.
Activities for the day:
• Find a fitness center near you that is dedicating a class on June 9 to Alzheimer's awareness by visiting alz.org/sweat4yourbrain.
• Day-long social media initiative in which individuals take a selfie while doing their normal workout—whatever and wherever it is—and share it on social, using #Sweat4YourBrain For those who don't regularly exercise, this would be a good day to start!
• Supporting Brain Health in Our Community Awareness Presentation
The information session will be followed by a live food demonstration featuring a St. Luke's dietician and a Q/A panel of experts. In-person attendees will have an opportunity to visit with vendor booths, sample a healthy recipe and will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a prize.
