The sixth annual Greater Lansing Memory Walk will be held at 1 p.m. on Sept. 21 at the Breslin Center.

The walk is sponsored by the Michigan Great Lakes Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. It will be led for the third consecutive year by Coach Joanne P. McCallie and members of the MSU women's basketball team.

More than 600 participants are expected to walk and raise more than last year's $73,000 to benefit families affected by Alzheimer's, which is currently incurable.

Since the walks began in 1989, Memory Walk sponsors, walkers and volunteers have raised more than $1 million to fund the Alzheimer's Association.

The event is open to everyone, and walkers who turn in $50 or more will receive a Memory Walk T-shirt.

Registration for Memory Walk 2003 begins at noon, and the walk begins at 1 p.m.
