About 1,500 people participated in Alzheimer’s San Diego’s annual walk to fundraise for Alzheimer’s support and research
1,500 walks participate in Walk4ALZ, San Diego’s annual walk to support San Diegans living with dementia and their caregivers, at Balboa Park on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024 in San Diego, CA. More than a thousand people donned blue shirts and walked through Balboa Park Saturday morning to recognize the growing number of San Diegans living with Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia.
“You don’t have to have a diagnosis of dementia to call us,” Welch added. “If you’re concerned about memory and brain health, call and ask to speak with someone on our staff, and we can help guide you with what’s going on.” Jeannie Steffen, of San Diego, holds a pinwheel with all the names of those affected by Alzheimer’s, including her husband, during Walk4ALZ, San Diego’s annual walk to support San Diegans living with dementia and their caregivers, at Balboa Park on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024 in San Diego, CA.
Kilpatrick said that Alzheimer’s San Diego helped break through the barriers often created with dementia diagnoses. “This is my 17th year walking,” Darling said. “To come down here, it’s just a community feeling. … I just always wanted to give back and help in some way.”
