Memory Matters promotes brain and body health with 5K

Get your body and your mind moving while helping support local families living with Alzheimer’s and related dementia in the Memory Matters’ third annual 5K Beach Walk and Run, to be held Sept. 9 on Hilton Head Island.

The start and finish line will be on the beach in front of the Marriott’s Grand Ocean, 51 S. Forest Beach Drive. Participants will be able to access this part of the beach via the Alder Lane Beach Access.

Before the 5K, a 400-meter Fun Run will be available to children 6 years and younger, making this a family event for all ages. After the race, a pancake breakfast will be provided to all race registrants prepared by volunteers from Providence Presbyterian Church located directly across the street from the beach.

“The best part of this race is that all funds raised in the race will stay right here in Beaufort and Jasper counties to help the local families that rely on Memory Matters’ programs and services,” said Memory Matters Executive Director Jill Horner.

Free parking will also be available at the church prior to the race.

Strollers and four-legged friends are welcome.

Registration is open now at secure.front- stream.com/2023-move-your-mind-5k. For more information, email joy@ mymemorymatters.org for more information.

Memory Matters was founded in 1997 on Hilton Head Island to serve families dealing with memory loss. The nonprofit organization is nationally recognized for its memory care, support and education programs.
