Alzheimer's Association, Orange County Chapter

This year, the Walk to End Alzheimer's is in every street, neighborhood, trail and park. Although we are not walking as one large group, individuals all over the nation continue to walk and raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's and all other dementia care, support and research. Whether you are walking for one of your parents, grandparents, sibling, or friend whether they are living with Alzheimer's or another dementia, or they are caregivers to someone living with the disease we are in this fight to #ENDALZ together. #Walk2EndAlz Register or donate at act.alz.org/oc.

Join us next Thursday, Nov. 5 at one of the participating Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar to help raise funds for Alzheimer's care, support and research! Whether you dine in or pick up your order, 15% of your total bill will be donated to the Alzheimer's Association. Make sure to use the code "19ALZ" for online order, or print out the flyer for dine-in. #LazyDogRestaurant #Walk2EndAlz #EndAlz

#TuesdayTip: Making art can help people with Alzheimer’s and other dementia build self-esteem and reduce stress while providing a space to express themselves.

The Home Instead Senior Care #Walk2EndAlz Gold National Team has already almost hit their fundraising goal, raising more than $229K for the fight to #ENDALZ through creative activities like Home Instead Pasadena’s quilt fundraiser!

An increase in Alzheimer’s research funding at the NIH and funding avenues like our Part the Cloud initiative, founded by Michaela Mikey Hoag, have helped move more potential Alzheimer’s drugs down the pipeline and expanded the scope of research. #ENDALZ
