RACE FOR ALZHEIMER'S RESEARCH

The Giddings New Horizons Lions Brain Power Five & Dime includes a 5K Run/Walk and a 10K Run. Run or walk in memory of a loved one or in honor of someone currently struggling with this disease. Funds raised this year will be donated to the Darrell Royal Alzheimer's Research Fund which focuses on research (dkrfund.org).

Alzheimer's research. Our 2016 goal

is to host 300 runners and walkers
