We’re officially kicking off our Walk to End Alzheimer’s 2015 team this week!

Our team will be participating once again in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Pinellas County. The walk is scheduled for October 24, 2015 at Bright House Field in Clearwater. For more event details, visit the Walk to End Alzheimer’s 2015 Pinellas County event information page. Stay tuned for more details about our team and fundraising events! If you want to participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s 2015 with us or find out more, contact Laura Ashford at 727-447-5845.

Why do we participate?

We walk because we know the toll that Alzheimer’s disease takes on individuals, families and the community. We believe in the importance of Alzheimer’s research and support programs. We are grateful to contribute to the Alzheimer’s Association’s vision of “a world without Alzheimer’s disease”.

About the Walk to End Alzheimer’s

The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s® is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide, this inspiring event calls on participants of all ages and abilities to reclaim the future for millions. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s disease, the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death.

Alzheimer’s Support

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease (or are concerned about memory loss), we encourage you to contact us for resources and a free consultation.

Aging Wisely and EasyLiving focus on individual services and support, but also community education about dementias such as Alzheimer’s. We have a large catalog of resources on Alzheimer’s topics and we offer Dementia Workshops on a regular basis. We help connect people with resources such as support groups and community assistance and we hope to help fill the gap for quality Alzheimer’s awareness and education.
