Get your yellow shoelace 
Then wear it to the walk
We hope to have local celebrities/ politicians wearing shoelaces around their finger or as a tie or lapel pin at gala events, or "wrapping" local landmarks with shoelaces. Having participants tie shoelaces around each others' fingers at Walks conveys the idea of community, linking walkers to each other and to people with Alzheimer disease and related dementias.
