2022 ‘Walk To End ALZ’ Happening Tomorrow In St. Cloud

LET'S FIND A CURE

How many of us have a loved one that suffers from a form of Dementia or Alzheimer's? More than you might think. I lost someone very close to me not long ago, that didn't know who I was, but she knew that she liked me, and wanted to sing with me. It was amazing that she could remember all those songs she sang for years in church, yet she couldn't remember who I was, or her grandchildren.  My Mother-in-Law was lucky enough to have caring children that took care of her for many years as she suffered from ALZ, but it hurts to know how alone she must have felt in those last days and years.

That is why it's so important to support research to find a cure for ALZ. We know it's out there. You can show your support for family, friends, and community members by donating or walking this Saturday.
