The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Altoona raised over $17,300 from over 100 participants, according to the organization. The event took place Saturday at the Altoona Curve Stadium, and participants not only joined the walk – but donated to the care, support and research programs of the Alzheimer’s Association. The top fundraising team was Memory Marches, which raised more than $2,000. In Pennsylvania alone, the Alzheimer’s Association reported that there are more than 280,000 people living with the disease and 500,000 caregivers.
