September is World Alzheimer’s Month. On the morning of September
30, 2012 the Brothers of Gamma Chapter met up at Flushing Meadows Corona Park
in Queens to volunteer and participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s that took
place in each of the five boroughs in New York. Brothers pooled donations together
on behalf of Nu Alpha Phi’s Gamma Chapter in order to contribute to the
Alzheimer’s Association to help support Alzheimer’s research and care programs.
Those who registered to take part in this event received a Promise Flower as a
token of their commitment to remember, to honor, to care, and to fight
Alzheimer’s disease.
There were four different flowers available, each with a
different meaning. Brothers happened to either hold an orange Promise Flower or
a purple Promise Flower. Orange flowers mean: I support the cause and a vision
of a world without Alzheimer’s. Purple Flowers mean: I have lost someone to
Alzheimer’s. Most of the Brothers held an orange flower with the exception of
Chris “Triton” Lee losing a family member to Alzheimer’s disease.
