The Walk to End Alzheimer's in September and October is the largest non-profit fundraising event in the U.S. This month, Answers for Elders supports the Walks and fundraising for the Alzheimer's Association. One out of nine Americans over 65 has Alzheimer's. As Alzheimer's touches families deeply, we'll cover everything from the Walks themselves to clinical research advancements. Today, Suzanne Newman introduces listeners to Dr. Kay Lehmann, Board Chair of the Alzheimer's Association in the state of Washington, which kicks off the Walks.
