GRRG skaters will lead the Alzheimers Memory Walk – Join our team!
Alzheimer’s effects the lives of the families and friends of many GRRG members. To support Alzheimer research efforts Grand Raggidy is lacing up our skates to raise money for the Alzheimers Association Memory Walk. GRRG skaters will lead the Memory Walk on September 12, 2009 at Millennium Park. The Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care. Since 1989, Memory Walk has raised more than $260 million for the cause.
We need your support!! You can either join the GRRG team and walk with us or you can simply donate using our team’s website at http://memorywalkgr.kintera.org/grrg. All Memory Walk donations benefit the Alzheimer’s Association, the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. The mission of the Alzheimer’s Association is to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.

2009 Walk for Lupus
Please join your Grand Raggidy Roller Girls in supporting the 2009 Walk for Lupus! Saturday, July 11 at 10:00 a.m. at Riverside Park’s Island Shelter (2011 Monroe Ave, Grand Rapids)
Your GRRG’s have been involved with the West Michigan Lupus Alliance since 2006. Lupus has affected many GRRG families and is a charity close to our hearts. Please join us in support for services and a cure!
Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that is hard to diagnose, difficult to manage and if not treated can become life threatening. In simple terms, lupus develops when the body becomes “allergic to itself.” There is no cure for lupus. Lupus affects adult women 10 times more frequently than men. Lupus is more prevalent than sickle cell anemia, cerebral palsy and cystic fibrosis, yet it is the least known of all major diseases.
