A Logan County Alzheimer's organization is inviting the community out for a fundraiser this Saturday in Lincoln.

Julie King with the Logan County Alzheimer's Support Group indicates their walk gets underway at the Oasis Senior Center in Lincoln at 9:30 am. Before the walk, they have a guest speaker lined up and then participants can start their walk on a walking trail behind the senior center. 

According to King, she says the walking of the event is not the focus. She hopes the community will simply get behind them and help raise money for Alzheimer's research.

Paul Boatman says his wife lost her battle with Alzheimer's about a year ago and they were a part of research opportunities. He says while it didn't help her, he hopes what she was able to contribute will help future generations.

You can contact Nancy Cunningham at the Oasis Senior Center for more information, the Oasis number is 217-732-6132. You can also contact King at the Christian Village by calling 217-732-5013. 

The Alzheimers Support Group offers support regularly at the Oasis Senior Center in Lincoln.
