Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging. Tomorrow at noon, we’re hosting a free online class, Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia. This class will cover the basics in plain language: how Alzheimer’s differs from dementia, stages, risk factors, current research, and Association resources.

If you are someone with questions - caring for a parent, noticing changes in yourself or a loved one, or just want to understand Alzheimer’s better then we’d love to see you!

Bend, thank you! 💜 Stretching together at warm-up, writing messages on Promise Garden flowers, and raising them high in a moment full of hope. It was a joy to share this day with you.

We’re just shy of $62,000 to reach our walk goal. Every gift, big or small, helps carry us across the finish line.

Portland, you showed up, and it was beautiful. 💜 Promise Garden flowers raised high. A countdown at the start line. A crowd walking together toward a world without Alzheimer’s.

We’re 90% of the way to our $535,000 goal, and you can help us cross the finish line. If everyone watching who’s able gives just $25, we’ll get there together.
