Is this the correct Latin translation?
If I wanted to say "make life a walk to remember" in Latin, would it be "creo vitae a ambulatio memoranda"?
I know the online translators will give planto for make (but its the wrong kind of make for this sentence, hence creo - which is more of a creation/make meaning) and ingredior for walk, but thats an uglier way of saying walk....ambulataio is more of a "stroll" kind of walk. Im really more concerned with the grammar then the vocabulary.

Cre vitam est itinero memoriam tenere.
This is the way I would do it. Cre is the imperative of Creo, it is a command, "(you) make," vitam, because it is the direct object is in the accusative. Then I inserted an "est" which can be be omitted but for clarity I though the sentence should say "Make life be." I used the word "iter, itineris" for walk. It means a long walk or journey. I put it in the dative case because sum es est doesn't take the accusative case. Then I used the phrase "tenere memoriam," "to hold a memory." It is the infinitive of teneo with the accusative of memoria.
Over all my sentence says:
Make life be a walk to remember.
