Hi, my name is Dawn Cepeda.
This is my 12th year walking in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. I would like to ask you to help me in fighting ALZ by donating to support me in this walk.
As many know my story but for those who do not - My Grandfather(Joe Sr.) and Great Uncle(John) have passed away fighting this disease. November 2012 my father, Joe Jr., and in March of 2015 my father-in-law, Ildefonso lost their battle to ALZ disease.
I am doing this walk in memory of my grandfather, great uncle, father and my father-in-law and any current and future people affected by this horrible disease.
Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this disease.
I need your support to do my part! Please make a donation to help the Alzheimer's Association advance research into the prevention, treatment and search for a cure to Alzheimer' and all other dementias. For the millions already affected by the disease, the Association offers care, education, support and resources in communities nationwide.
Thank you for joining our movement! The end of Alzheimer's disease starts here.
- More than 7 million Americans aged 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s.
- This number is expected to nearly double by mid-century.
- Total deaths from Alzheimer’s disease continues to increase.

Thank you for helping advance Alzheimer's support, care and research.
