These presentations are:
"Tenacity" a 40 minute solo theatre play about a care-giver and

his long-term patient. Q & A follow. Presented by Geoffrey Darling.

"Lessons in a Lunchbox" a non-denominational, faith-based program designed to encourage interaction and trigger memories of traditional hymns, Bible stories and prayers. An old-fashioned domed-lid lunchbox holds illustrative items for the program that serve as focal points for memories and discussion. 30 (approx) minutes for the program. Presented by Rose Darling

(This program was presented at Alzheimer's Association Conferences in Northeast Ohio, Tri-State Conference in Coventry, KY, and POAMN Conference Daytona Beach. It has reached residents of adult day services and retirement communities in Ohio, Florida, England and New Zealand.)

"MindMarvels" teaches memory-enhancing skills in a fun, interactive way. Using brain teasers, optical illusions, name-memorization techniques and gives participants easy tips on memorizing poetry and even scripts. Presented by Rose and Geoffrey Darling. This program may be adapted in length to suit your organization's needs.)

Feet of Memory Inc exists to help bring an end to Alzheimer's disease -a dreadful life-and memory-stealing disease - by raising funds and awareness through endurance walks and theatrical/speaking engagements.

how does your money help

When you donate to our nonprofit organization,Feet of Memory, Inc, your donations help local Alzheimer's Association chapters meet the needs of people wth Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers. For example, our local chapter in Canton, Ohio provides numerous support groups, educational opportunities, Safe Return and more. As Feet of Memory helps the Alzheimer's Association by raising funds and awareness, we help provide important services and information.

Monies raised toward the  2,400 mile walk from Key West to Maine along historic US Rt 1 in 2013 help us do our work in order to raise MANY dollars toward research, education and support services. Additionally, the media coverage alone will help build awareness of the scope and issues of Alzheimer's disease.

We thank you for your support of Feet of Memory!
