This is my 32nd year participating in “Walks to End Alzheimer's Disease" and my list of Walking in "Memory and in Honor of" has also grown to "32" family, friends and neighbors. It's time to find a cure for this disease and other forms of dementia. Research has provided new drugs to help slow the progress of this disease. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to my Walk Page by clicking on the link provided. We are accepting donations for the Walk, now!
I am also walking in HONOR of my cousin, Ann Marie Campolo, friends, Riz Minetto, Ann Nave, Mrs. Betty Valdez, Filomena Valentino, neighbor Andy Wolf and all those currently afflicted with this disease and related dementia.

I started my involvement with the Alzheimer's Association of CNY (Syracuse) at the first Memory Walk in 1992, and also was a member of the Walk Committee for many years. We organized “Off-Site Memory Walks” with all Lincoln Middle School students and fellow teachers from 1994 - 2010, raising over $30,000 for the CNY Chapter. In 1996, I was honored as the CNY Alzheimer's Association Volunteer of the Year. Upon my retirement and moving to Sarasota in 2012, I have been supporting both the Sarasota/Manatee County and Syracuse/Onondaga County Walks. In 2021, I was asked to join the Sarasota/Manatee County Walk Planning Committee. Last year, was my third year as a member of the planning committee. With your donations, we were able to raise over $5,750 combined, for the 2021, 2022 & 2023 Walks!
This year, I am continuing as a member of the Sarasota/Manatee Walk planning Committee for the 2024 Walk to End Alzheimer’s Disease in Sarasota/Manatee Counties. The walk will take place on November 2, 2024, at Nathan Benderson Park, in Sarasota. It will be bigger and better than ever! I have been asked to continue working on the Walk Champions experience! Champions, Grand Champions and Elite Grand. Champions raise a minimum of $500, $1,500, $2,500 or more!
