On October 22 our staff participated in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s. This Walk is particularly dear to our hearts because Alzheimer’s has affected our parents, grandparents, friends and other loved ones. We were honored to participate along with several thousand walkers at the Guthrie Green downtown. There was a sea of purple at the fundraiser listening to testimonies of loved ones caring for their family member suffering from Alzheimer’s.

How the Alzheimer’s Walk Helps

The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. This inspiring event calls on participants of all ages and abilities to help fight to find a cure. Right now, more than 5-million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with Alzheimer’s, symptoms first appear in their mid-60s. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia among older adults.

Help Fight Alzheimer’s!

Alzheimer’s is currently ranked as the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, but recent estimates indicate that the disorder may rank third, just behind heart disease and cancer, as a cause of death for older people.
