Turkey Trot for the Memory

Now in it's 3rd year, Shrewsbury's Turkey Trot for the Memory 5-miler and 2-mile run/walk has raised nearly $40,000 for the Alzheimer's Association of Massachusetts. A form of dementia, Alzheimer's is a fatal disease that afflicts 1 in 6 Americans over the age of 65. In 2012, the Turkey Trot attracted over 1,000 participants of all ages and walks of life to walk, run and celebrate the spirit of Thanksgiving and community- while raising money for Alzheimer’s research, patient and family care, and educational programming.
