I am part of the Nelson Family of cousins who have decided to stand together to STOP Alzheimer's. For those who don't know our story, six of the seven family members in the Andrew Nelson family have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and only one is still fighting. She is the youngest daughter and is now in a memory care facility in Grand Forks ND.
Each year we cousins get together in a different location and walk to Fight Alzheimer's. This is our 6th year fundraising and supporting each other in this fight. As of the last walk in September 2023 we have raised as a family over $50,000.00. We walked in Fargo and Bismarck, ND; Bozeman, MT; Brainerd, MN, and Rapid City, SD. We will be particating in Grand Forks for 2024.
We have decided this year to bring a special walk to Arnegard, ND to honor the Nelson Family in the area where our Grandpa homesteaded 100 years ago!!! We will be hosting an event on Friday, June 28 and Saturday, June 29 we will walk. There will be a Silent Auction and more on Friday night as the Arnegard Lions Club is making a special donation to our fight against this disease as they host their Friday night Hamburgers in the Park.
We are joining the Grand Forks Alzheimer's walk this year to show our support for them and our Aunt. If you would care to donate you can do so by going to the Grand Forks Alzheimer's Walk 2024. You can donate to the Nelson Family or any team member of your choosing. There will also be a walk for anyone who would like to walk with us Saturday, June 29, in Watford City to show our support. More information will be posted as we get closer to June. Anyone wishing more information or to donate a silent auction item or just lend a hand, please message me. Hopefully we can one day host an official Alzheimer's walk in Watford City!!
Alzheimer’s isn’t stopping and neither are we. By participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s, I’m raising awareness and funds 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.
My goal is $500.00
Families facing Alzheimer’s and all other dementia need us — and with your help, we can be there for them. Please make a donation or register as a participant and start your own fundraising efforts. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s disease.
Thank you for your support! Sherri Nelson
