The Brain Injury Association of Maine will hold its 18th annual fundraising event The Walk for Thought on Saturday, March 22, 2008 at six locations around the state.

Funds raised will help support vital programs and activities the association offers to survivors and family members as well as important brain injury prevention programs for children.

Local walks will begin and end at the following locations:

• Sanford Junior High School with a walk route that is approximately 3 miles.

• Southern Maine Community College in Portland with a walk route that is approximately 4 miles.

The Walk will take place in rain or snow but in case of severe weather, the event will go on in the facility. Walker check-in begins at 8 a.m. with an official kick-off starting at 8:50; a light breakfast will be available. When walkers return they will be greeted by the Red Carpet Crew Cheerers; lunch donated by local businesses will be available.
