The Alzheimer’s & Dementia Alliance of Wisconsin Dane County Walk took place Saturday morning in Madison.
At the Warner Park Shelter, family, friends, corporations and organizations participated in building awareness and showing community support to battling the disease. The walk raised funds through donation to continue programs and services provided locally to individuals and families.
More than 500 walkers supported the cause on Saturday and the most recent count from donations is $80,000 and climbing.
Donations dollars fund Memory Cafes, caregiver support groups, educational programs, care consultations and more. All money raised at the Alzheimer’s Walk stays in south central Wisconsin.
