Who Were Those People With The Signs?
March 26, 2009 //
If you drove around the Greater Syracuse area on Wednesday, March 25, you may have seen people holding signs with Alzheimer’s facts.
Our volunteers took to the streets to raise awareness about the disease and follow up on Tuesday’s Facts and Figures launch. Signs saying “Every 70 Seconds Someone Gets Alzheimer’s” and “There are 5.3 Million Americans with Alzheimer’s” faced drivers during morning, lunch and evening rush hours on Syracuse’s busiest roadways — Lyndon Corners in Dewitt, Heid’s Corners in Liverpool, Clinton Square in Syracuse, West Genesee Street in Westvale and the corner of West Fayette and West Streets near Armory Square. Our teams report that car horns were honked and that a few people stopped in traffic to ask questions.
More pictures of the standouts can be seen by clicking the headline above.
