We are thrilled to share that we proudly sponsored the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Monterey, California, on Saturday, October 19, 2024! The event was a tremendous success, bringing together our community to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support, and research.
Event Highlights
The atmosphere was filled with hope and determination as participants gathered to honor loved ones affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Families, friends, and community members came together, creating a vibrant sea of purple as we walked for a cause that touches so many lives.
Understanding Alzheimer’s: The Statistics
Alzheimer’s disease is a growing concern in our society. Here are some impactful statistics that highlight the urgency of our mission:
- Over 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease.
- 1 in 9 people aged 65 and older is affected by Alzheimer’s.
- Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.
- By 2050, the number of people aged 65 and older with Alzheimer’s could rise to nearly 14 million.
These numbers remind us why events like the Walk to End Alzheimer’s are so vital.
