Walking for a Cure: Staten Island’s Role in the Fight Against Alzheimer’s

A Community Walking for Hope

Every year, families across Staten Island come together for a cause that touches countless lives: the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association, this event is more than just a fundraiser — it’s a symbol of hope, unity, and determination to end a disease that affects more than 6 million Americans, including many here on Staten Island.

For local residents, the walk represents more than awareness. It’s a chance to honor loved ones, support caregivers, and rally together to bring Alzheimer’s out of the shadows.

Why Staten Island Stands Out

Staten Island has always been a close-knit community. When Alzheimer’s impacts one family, it impacts us all. Local families often share stories of the emotional toll of caregiving, the financial strain of medical costs, and the difficult decisions around long-term care or estate planning.

The Walk to End Alzheimer’s gives Staten Island a platform to:

• Raise Awareness: Educating neighbors about early signs, resources, and caregiver support.
  
  
• Raise Funds: Every dollar helps advance research and provide essential support services.
  
  
• Raise Voices: Families share their journeys, making the fight against Alzheimer’s personal and urgent.
  
  

More Than Just a Walk

When you participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Staten Island, you’ll notice something powerful: a sea of promise flowers. Each color represents someone’s connection to the disease — whether they’re currently living with it, supporting a loved one, have lost someone, or simply walking in support of the cause.

This colorful display is a reminder that while every journey is different, the fight is shared.
