Memory Walk Marathon 2010 – Avebury to Stonehenge – Alzheimer’s Society
http://www.alzheimers.org.uk
Memory Walk Marathon 2010 was an exciting challenge that took walkers through 6,000 years of British history. Walking the equivalent distance of a marathon, walkers started at the stone circle of Avebury and finished at the world heritage site of Stonehenge. This film tells the moving stories of some of the people who took part, and shows some of the incredible scenery and atmosphere on the day.
Our route took us from Avebury, past Silbury Hill south, walking by the Pewsey White Horse, along the Kennet and Avon Canal and then south across Salisbury Plain where the mystical stone circle of Stonehenge was our dramatic finish line.
Memory Walk is Alzheimer’s Society’s biggest annual fundraiser and a great opportunity to have a fun day out with friends and family.
This year thousands of people took part in Memory Walk around the country, raising money to support people with dementia and their carers.
