There's only one walk in Madison where proceeds stay in Wisconsin to support local families facing Alzheimer's – the Dane County Alzheimer’s Walk and Open 5K Run on Saturday, September 17 at Warner Park in Madison. Your participation makes a real difference in the lives of Wisconsin families facing Alzheimer’s disease or other form of dementia. When a person calls the Alzheimer’s & Dementia Alliance of Wisconsin (ADAW), he or she talks to a local expert knowledgeable about programs and services available here. The ADAW is a partner along the journey, guiding those affected with innovative programs and services to support people’s well-being. Our emphasis on public policy has helped bring millions in state and federal research dollars to Wisconsin researchers. We are also the first Alzheimer’s organization in the nation to have a Diversity Coordinator linking the African American community to researchers at UW-Madison’s federally-funded Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. The run begins at 8am and the walk at 9:15am. All funds raised stay in Wisconsin. To register or for more information, visit http://support.alzwisc.org/dane.
