Take Steps Against Alzheimer's with Walk4ALZ

From Helen Robbins-Meyer

Walk4ALZ – the annual walk for Alzheimer's San Diego – is almost here, and we could really use your support.

I spoke in a recent column about the many things the County is doing to meet the challenge of a quickly expanding population with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. I know many of you have faced the struggle of caring for loved ones afflicted by these illnesses.

Alzheimer's San Diego raises funds to help local families impacted by Alzheimer's disease and support research for a cure. Maybe you'd like to walk in honor of a special person you know who suffers from Alzheimer's. Or maybe you're just moved by the cause and want to help.

Either way, I invite you to join me as part of Team San Diego County in Walk4ALZ. The walk is Oct. 15 in Balboa Park. You can register or donate by visiting our team page. Thanks for your support, and I hope to see you there!
