WHY PARTICIPATE?
Alzheimer’s is the 4th leading cause of death in L.A. County
Two-thirds of those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s are women
African Americans are twice as likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s
Hispanics & Asia Pacific Islanders are each 1.5 times more likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s
Today, there is an Alzheimer’s diagnosis every 67 seconds – by 2050, it will be every 33 seconds
These are just some of the statistics we face, but with your help, the funds raised through walk4ALZ® will help provide those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and their families the information, support, and resources they need. Alzheimer’s Los Angeles provides free programs and services, including Care Counseling, early-stage programs, art and music activities, a helpline, support groups, community and caregiver education, advocacy, and local research.
So, whether you are living with dementia, caring for someone with dementia, have lost someone to Alzheimer’s, or simply want to make a difference in our community, join us for walk4ALZ® Los Angeles on Sunday, October 20th!
