OFA to host Alzheimer's Association's ‘Longest Day'
OSWEGO. N.Y. (WSYR-TV)– The Oswego County Office for the Aging (OFA) invites you to join the 'Longest Day' event organized by the Alzheimer's Association to raise awareness for care and support for Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers.
The annual event starts at 5 p.m. on Thursday, June 19, at the Oswego Farmers' Market on West First Street. The event will include walking the 'Healthy Mile' around the bridges at 5:30 p.m.
Before the walk, volunteers will be at the purple table during the Oswego Farmers' Market to take photos and discuss the meaning of the 'Longest Day'.
'This event is held each year to honor the strength, heart, and endurance of people living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia and their caregivers,' said Oswego County OFA Coordinator of Caregiver Services Elizabeth Weimer. 'We encourage people to wear purple, the color of the Alzheimer's Association, to show their love and support.'
The event will be held rain or shine. It will only be canceled if the Oswego Farmers' Market is also called off.
Elizabeth Weimer can be contacted with questions at 315-349-3570 or
