I am walking in honor my father, Thomas Williams, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's over 8 years ago. He passed away April 25, 2024. This is a debilitating disease that not only affects the patient, but the entire family as well. There is no cure for Alzheimer's and by participating in this walk, I am hopeful that someday, through research, a cure will be found. 

Currently, there are more than 5 million Americans who have Alzheimer's, and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this disease. Together, we can end Alzheimer's. Let's walk together to lead the way to the first survivor. 

The Alzheimer's Association supports research along with caregiver and patient support. My mom was the main caregiver for my dad, and utilized the Association for answers to questions she had along with various support. Please make a donation to advance the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association.

Thank you for joining the fight against Alzheimer's.
