Johnny Morris and The Code

This week Johnny Morris began walking the entire length of the Appalachian Trail – from Georgia to Maine, which should take about four months. He’s doing it to raise money for a nonprofit called MemoryCare, which offers high-quality, affordable care for patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. MemoryCare was founded by his mother, Dr. Margaret Noel in 2000, and has grown to a staff of 18 and serves about 1,000 patients. Johnny has seen the impact this local nonprofit makes in western North Carolina and wanted to join his mother’s efforts in a tangible way. The Code says, “I will give of my time, skill, and money as I am able for the betterment of my community and world.” Both Dr. Noel and Johnny are making an impact in their corner of the world – what can you do in yours? Is there something your team can do? What is going on in your community that needs your support?
