Stories are gifts. Share them! That's why we've started the "Why I Walk" page on our Chapter website. This is your forum for sharing your "Why I Walk" story. We all have our reasons. Below you will find quotes as well as stories from Walk to End Alzheimer's™ participants. Mothers, brothers, daughters, frontline caregivers, neighbors, volunteers – all with a common purpose of raising awareness about Alzheimer's and related dementias as well as raising funds for care, support and research.

Walk to End Alzheimer's
page.
"Two years ago, I began walking as part of
our company team…now it's more personal. My mother has Alzheimer's.
We are all walking to help find a cure."
"I walk in memory of my Dad, for whom I was
caregiver until he passed of Alzheimer's in June 2008. Last year,
the Walk happened to be held on Dad's birthday, which attracted
family members, and it was a kind of like a birthday party for him!"
