Alzheimer’s isn’t stopping and neither are we. By participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s®, I’m raising funds and awareness to advance the fight against this disease — funds that allow the Alzheimer’s Association® to provide 24/7 care and support while accelerating critical research.

I'm walking in honor of my dear Opa. He was much more than a grandfather. Opa was my best bud, sunshine, role model, and goofball. He had an incredible heart and spirit, and his generosity was limitless. 

Earlier this year, my grandfather passed away from Alzheimer's, so I understand how difficult it is for patients and their caregivers through all the stages of the condition. It took my grandfather over 3 years to be properly diagnosed and therefore, it took him years to get proper care. We were so lucky to be able to care for my grandfather at home and be so close to him even in his final days and during the pandemic.

Less than half of people living with Alzheimer’s and all other dementia ever receive a diagnosis, leaving them unable to plan for the future, ineligible to participate in cutting edge scientific studies, and unaware of vital resources that exist for patients and families.

Families facing Alzheimer’s and all other dementia need us now more than ever — and with your help, we can be there for them. Please make a donation or register as a participant and start your own fundraising. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s disease. 

Thank you!
