The Run to Remember is an annual event that draws together runners with a view to raise dementia awareness and to showcase the value of physical activity to prevent Dementia. This began as the Alzheimer’s Charity Run in February 2011 with a special guest runner affected by dementia in the family and conducted with the support of the Hash House Harriers, a group of social runners who donated the proceeds of their collections that month to the Lanka Alzheimer’s Foundation. Seeing the potential to draw a wider community to create greater awareness and to promote a healthy lifestyle, LAF has been organising this programme with wider community participation and renamed it as the “Run to Remember”. Other groups of runners, sports clubs, social and other entities and many individuals, including children participate in the Run. The Hash harriers continue to participate in and support the programme. This is an annual event now held in September each year to coincide with World Alzheimer’s Month.
