Honoring the Memory of Jack Tribble
This year, Memory Matters is honored to pay tribute to the life and memory of Jack Tribble during our Move Your Mind 5K & Fun Walk.
Jack and his wife, Miggsie, have long been cherished members of the Hilton Head community and friends of Memory Matters. Like so many families we serve, they experienced firsthand the challenges of living with Lewy body dementia. Their journey reminds us why our mission is so important and why no family should have to walk this path alone.
Thanks to Miggsie's generosity, Jack's memory will be recognized throughout this year's event. His name will appear on our commemorative race T-shirts and be honored with a special memorial display as our community gathers in support of families living with Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, and other related dementias.
Every person we serve has a story. Every family deserves support, compassion, and hope. As we come together on September 19, we will celebrate Jack's life, honor the love that Miggsie and their family continue to share with our community, and remember that every step we take helps another family find the care, education, and respite they need.
Together, we honor those we have loved. Together, we support those who continue the journey. Together, we are Memory Matters.

Weather
Average Temps on Race Day
Average temperature in September is Lo 68 / Hi 84 - expect a warm sunny morning on race day.
Inclement Weather Plan
Safety for our participants, volunteers, and staff is our number one concern. Any decision we make regarding the production or cancellation of the event will be made with their interest first and foremost. If mother nature does not cooperate on race morning - we will delay the event until the conditions are safe - this delay will continue for a reasonable amount of time until we deem it necessary to cancel the event. If time permits and if the weather poses a threat that is certain to make us cancel the event in the hours prior the start, we will notify participants of the race cancellation via email as soon as that decision is made.
