I'm walking to help reclaim the future for millions. By participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's®, I'm committed to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s research, care and support.
Currently, more than 5 million Americans 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.
Tom's mom suffered from Alzheimer's. To see Louise go from a vibrant, loving person to this stranger who didn’t know her family has been difficult. The effect this disease has on a family is devastating, especially for the main caregivers. She spent her last months alone in a nursing home (Covid restrictions) and required help with things we all take for granted, eating, drinking, dressing, even walking.
I can't do much to help Louise at this, point but by raising funds, perhaps Louise’s grandchildren will not have to experience what Tom, his brother and sisters have. Maybe families in the future can have some hope.
I need your support to do my part! Please make a donation to help the Alzheimer's Association advance research into methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure for Alzheimer's. For the millions already affected by the disease, the Association offers care, education, support and resources in communities nationwide.
Thank you for joining the movement! The end of Alzheimer's disease starts with you.
