Hundreds of Tri-County residents took a stand against Alzheimer’s in September.
Around 350 residents joined the Alzheimer’s Association’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s on September 29th at the Jasper Riverwalk.
Participants raised nearly $63,000 at this year’s walk to fund Alzheimer’s care, support, and research programs.
Spring Valley Meadows was the top fundraising team at this year’s Walk, raising $8,000.
Walking participants did more than just fundraising and completing the two-mile walk. They also learned more about the disease and how to get involved.
The event also included an emotional promise garden ceremony – a tribute to those who have experienced or are experiencing, Alzheimer’s in their lives.
Although the walk is over, the Alzheimer’s Association is still accepting donations to the end of the year. If you wish to donate, head to act.alz.org/tricounty2019.
