About seven million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer's right now.  In Minnesota alone, about 102,000 people are living with this disease today.

Rochester, Minnesota Resident Walking on Saturday to Honor His Wife Diagnosed with Alzheimer's

Six years ago, Virginia, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.  On Saturday, September 14th, Virginia's husband, Stuart Arey, will be walking to honor her at the Walk to End Alzheimer's Event in Rochester.

“The Alzheimer’s Association is a great way to learn about the disease and meet others in the same situation.  Many people struggle to get loved ones to go to the doctor to get a diagnosis. The earlier you know, the better equipped everyone can be to support their journey and be proactive." - Stuart Arey

What is the Alzheimer's Association?

Leading the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia is the mission of the Alzheimer's Association.  Global research, risk reduction and early detection, local classes that are provided at no cost to participants, as well as support groups are just some of the ways that this organization shows their dedication to those impacted by Alzheimer's.
