Why We Walk
Every day on the Senior Care Unit at Mille Lacs Health System, we witness both the heartbreak and the quiet strength of those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. We see the confusion in a patient’s eyes as they struggle to remember a loved one’s name—and the gentle patience of families who never stop showing up. We walk for them.
We walk for the husbands and wives who visit every day, holding hands and memories close. We walk for the daughters who bring old photo albums, hoping for a flicker of recognition. We walk for the patients who may not remember our names but greet us with warmth and trust.
Our team walks to honor the courage of those facing this disease and to support the families who carry the weight of love and loss. We walk because we believe in better care, better support, and a future without Alzheimer’s.
Join us, support us, and help us make every step count.
