International Day of the Girl celebrates young people who see a way to make a difference and go for it. For Julianne, that started with "two very big things." Her love for her grandmother, Diane, and her love of dance.

Her grandmother, better known as Nanny, lived with Alzheimer's. Her family first noticed signs of the disease when "she forgot the simplest words — a lot," Julianne shared. Those changes were signs of Alzheimer’s. Her family joined their first Walk to End Alzheimer's in 2024. After losing Nanny, Julianne knew she wanted to do more.

That is when Julianne came up with her own way to help. She hosted Dancin' for Diane with her Varsity Kickline team, raising over $16,000 (and counting) for Walk to End Alzheimer’s. "I thought that if I could fundraise for the Association while doing the thing I love most, it would be a win-win."

One of Julianne's favorite moments with her Nanny was a trip to a drive-thru when she was 7 years old. She recalls spilling her ice cream all over the car and instead of Nanny getting upset, the two "just couldn't stop laughing."

On International Day of the Girl, we're grateful for Julianne and all the girls that are determined to make a difference in our world. Join Julianne and participate in a Walk to End Alzheimer's near you at alz.org/walk. 💜

Why do you Walk?

Izzy Pena and her family registered for their first Walk to End Alzheimer's with plans to walk with her grandmother who had recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. But before the Walk, her grandmother sadly passed away from another cause.

When it came time for Walk to End Alzheimer’s, the family decided they would still participate in her honor. "We were so overwhelmed with emotions, but I knew this was something bigger than just me and my family,” Izzy shared. “I knew I wanted to get involved with the Alzheimer’s Association as much as I possibly could.”

That moment set something in motion. Now in her second year as Community Engagement Chair for her local Walk to End Alzheimer's, Izzy uses her creative talents to keep her community connected and engaged throughout Walk season.

"Participating in Walk is such a beautiful and powerful reminder of how many people have been impacted by Alzheimer's and how we can all come together to honor our loved ones and support one another.”

💜 For Izzy, showing up is everything. "You never know how much of an impact you can make just by showing up. It truly is a rewarding experience." Join Izzy and participate in a Walk to End Alzheimer's near you at alz.org/walk.

Since 1984, Sigma Kappa Sorority has made Alzheimer's disease research its philanthropic focus. That commitment has now surpassed $20 million — powered by 240,000 members across 115 collegiate chapters and 93 alumnae groups. 💜

Behind that number are stories like Kayla's. A Sigma Kappa sister who lost her grandfather to Alzheimer's, Kayla says the cause means far more to her than fundraising totals.

"Sigma Kappas around the country have made a difference so much more than we will probably ever know."
