On September 13th, the streets of Colombo came alive with the footsteps of runners gathering at the Taj Samudra. Seasoned athletes, families, colleagues, and friends all united by a single purpose: to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s and dementia, honor those living with the condition, and support the caregivers who devote their lives to others. Run to Remember, organized annually by the Lanka Alzheimer’s Foundation during World Alzheimer’s Month, began more than two decades ago as a small volunteer-led initiative. Today, it has grown into a respected platform for education, remembrance, and community action. Taj Area Director Sri Lanka and Maldives, Samrat Datta, along with the LAF board and volunteers, were present at the event, demonstrating how dedication to a cause can coexist with personal and professional commitments.
