The Alzheimer's Association advances care, support, and research worldwide, from face-to-face support to online education programs and promising worldwide research initiatives. The money raised makes a difference in the lives of those facing Alzheimer's, including mine.
After working for the Alzheimer's Association for 13 years, I left to care for my aging parents. Since this cause is still so personal, I walk to end Alzheimer's for many reasons. I walk to honor my dad, who was diagnosed in 2021, to honor the memory of his younger sister (pictured), who died from complications of Alzheimer's in 2017, and to honor the memory of my uncles (dad's cousins) and their loved ones who lived with this disease for more than ten years in silence.
I walk to change the stigma of Alzheimer's and dementia in Asian and Pacific Islander communities, encouraging the older and younger generations to start discussing the changes they see at home, getting educated by reaching out to the Alzheimer's Association, and creating a real community system. This disease isolates and the power of community, supports. We cannot do any of this work alone.
I walk to honor my mom, myself, and my husband, along with 11+ million caregivers nationwide struggling to stay ahead of this disease. But we need your help.
- Get educated about the prevalence of the disease. No one is exempt.
- Get involved. There are many ways to join the fight as a volunteer or an advocate.

Memories are all we have of one another. Let's make this a good one. - Jenn
