A Shaded Hike for Everyone
This hike is in the shade and near water so hopefully we'll have a nice breeze. Most importantly, it would be great if we could highlight how this park has gone above and beyond to make hiking accessible for everyone. They have not one, but 4 accessible trails for us to visit. Additionally, they even have All-Terrain Wheelchairs that our participants can reserve ahead of time. I included all of this in the link on our site and even included the link for people to read about (& reserve) the special wheelchairs. I hope this will truly be a hike for everybody.

Caregiver Webinar:
What it Means to be Brain Healthy |
|
|
Community Program |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
In this webinar presentation, hosted by the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging, Dr. Jennifer Pauldurai, Cognitive and Behavioral Neurologist, Medical director with the Inova Brain Health and Memory Disorders Program, will discuss brain health. As we age, we are all at risk for dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases. This isn't an inevitable fate, and there are proactive changes we can make to our health and lifestyle to keep our brains working well for longer. These brain healthy tactics can even help protect and lessen the distress in someone who already has a brain disease. In this webinar we explore a checklist of things we can work on today, to better our brains for tomorrow.
