This was taken at home; I donned a light jacket at the walk
as it was a cool morning.

This was a photo opportunity for individuals or groups at this year's
Walk To End Alzheimer's.

Here is the promise garden where people can plant a flower for
their connection to Alzheimer's.

My addition of Mom's flower to the promise garden.

I was so happy that this year they continued the Tribute Wall, where people
can hang a message or photo of their connection to Alzheimer's.

Here is my Tribute Wall contribution for this year.

This was the youngest walker I encountered at this year's walk.
His parents graciously allowed me to take and post the photo.

This year's 4-legged walkers were larger than last year.

At the beginning of the Promise Garden ceremony they explained the colored
flowers that show people's connection to Alzheimer's.
The flower colors represent someone:

Blue: who is living with Alzheimer's or dementia

Purple: who has lost a loved one to Alzheimer's or dementia

Yellow: who is caring for/supporting someone with Alzheimer's or dementia

Orange: who supports the cause and a vision of an Alzheimer's-Free world

White: who is the first survivor of Alzheimer's (to be in the future)

The walk begins with an eager mob funneling through the starting gate.

About a half hour later we finshed the hilly 1½ mile walk.
