Welcome to Generations team page for the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's®! The Walk is the largest event to raise funds and awareness for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association®. It's held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide, and our team is excited to participate again this year.
I am walking to honor my mother but most or all of us have been or will be touched in some way by Alzheimer's disease.
- Alzheimer's is poised to change the financial landscape of this country. The 2024 projected costs of caring for those with Alzheimer's and other dementias in the U.S is $360 billion. By 2050 this is projected to be nearly $1 trillion.
- One of every three seniors die with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's or other form of dementia.
- Currently, nearly 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's and well over 11 million family members and friends provide their unpaid care.
We need your help to end this devastating disease. You can make an impact with a donation or even joining our team. Your kindness and generosity truly make a difference in the fight against Alzheimer's and all other dementia. Thank you for your support!
