On Saturday, October 9th, 2021 Team Brotherly Love will walk to support the work of the Alzheimer's Association and the hope that one day we will celebrate the first survivor. 

This year we dedicate our efforts to Karen Garner and Alzheimer's Awareness.  Karen is a 73-year-old Colorado woman with dementia and sensory aphasia who suffered a broken arm, dislocated shoulder and other injuries while being violently arrested after Walmart employees summoned police after Garner left the store without paying for $14 worth of merchandise.  Video later revealed that police laughed at and mocked Garner during the arrest. 

Greater awareness of dementia related behaviors is needed by all but especially first responders and those in public facing roles.  Help us raise awareness and financial support for Alzheimer's research, support and services, (including free training for first responders) by joining Team Brotherly Love or by making a donation to our team.

As always, I work and walk to honor my brother Bud who died from complications of Alzheimer's disease in 2018.
