As the women of Team USA Gymnastics compete in Tokyo, we’re thinking of the gymnastics dementia caregivers perform every single day. Family caregivers balance family responsibilities, work and often raising children alongside their caregiving duties. By recruiting four people to join your #Walk2EndALZ team today, you can help ensure caregivers can access support groups, education and other resources. Who will make up your Fab 5? Recruit four friends, family or coworkers to join your team today. Ask them to register at alz.org/walk

Today is #MotivationMonday! We would like to thank Samantha Garcia from West Seattle for participating in the #Walk2EndALZ. 💜 "As a caregiver to my mother who has suffered with dementia for eight years now, I walk in honor of her. It is because of her that I’ll continue to bring awareness to others and have hope that we’re moving towards a cure!”

Now through December 31, @onstar is proudly supporting the Alzheimer's Association by donating $1 to the Association for every OnStar Guardian app download (for a maximum donation of $225,000).

You are not alone. We are here for you 24/7. Call our free Helpline at 1.800.272.3900 to be connected with professional specialists and clinicians who can give advice, resources or simply be a listening ear.

The Olympics have started and so have the Walk to End Alzheimer’s Olympics! Just like in Tokyo, there are no spectators in the fight to end Alzheimer’s. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s will be in-person this year and we need you to get off the sidelines and join the fight. Show the 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s and their 11 million unpaid caregivers that you’re on their team by registering for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s today. Will you stop being a spectator and register your team? Go to alz.org/walk

Pastors Chris and Sylvia Lee-Thompson spent their lives as husband and wife devoted to traveling the country and serving at churches. Last year, their lives changed forever when Sylvia was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Read their story this week at alzwablog.org
