In September, 2024, West Essex AYLUS volunteered by making posters for the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s event in West Orange, New Jersey. Currently more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s. Between 2000 and 2019, deaths from Alzheimer’s have more than doubled. In 2022, Alzheimer’s disease will cost the United States $321 billion. This number is projected to rise to nearly $1 trillion in 2050. The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s® is the world’s largest fundraiser for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. This inspiring event calls on participants of all ages and abilities to join the fight against the disease.
