Description
Yale’s affinity groups are leading the way to Alzheimer’s first survivor by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s®. Currently, more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. Alzheimer’s does not discriminate and we are all at risk, although African Americans, Hispanics, and women have an increased risk. Almost two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s disease are women. Alzheimer’s kills more that breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.
Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this disease. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s disease. Please make a donation and/or join our team, to advance the care, support, and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association. Thank you for joining the fight against Alzheimer’s!
