The Alzheimer’s Association is inviting Rockford residents to join the fight to end Alzheimer’s by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s – Rockford, September 27th at Sportscore One Soccer Center, 1288 Elmwood Rd, Rockford, IL 61103 at 9:00am.
“This is a pivotal moment in the fight against Alzheimer’s. There are now treatments that can change the course of the disease,” said Taylor Adolphson, Walk Manager Alzheimer’s Association Illinois Chapter “We hope that everyone in our community can join us by starting a team to help the Alzheimer's Association raise awareness and funds for families facing the disease today, take more steps toward treatments and finally ending this disease.”
On Walk day, participants honor those affected by Alzheimer’s with the poignant Promise Garden ceremony — a mission-focused experience that signifies our solidarity in the fight against the disease. During the ceremony, walkers will carry flowers of various colors, each color representing their personal connection to the disease.
More than 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease – a leading cause of death in the United States. Additionally, nearly 12 million family members and friends provide care to people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. In Illinois, there are more than 260,500 people living with the disease and 314,000 caregivers.
