Purple Reigns at Bruce McLaren

Bruce McLaren Retirement Village

Purple balloons, purple clothes and hats, and even purple hair were on parade at Bruce McLaren Village as residents turned out for a special village walk to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s Awareness month.

The fact that everyone taking part knew or knows a friend or family member affected by the disease gave the walk extra purpose.

September is also the month for Ryman’s Everest-themed virtual walking challenge, where residents attempt to meet their target of either 64.4km or 128.7km.
