Good morning, Greater PA! Today is the last Walk of the year at City Island in Harrisburg. Today, we’ll celebrate the progress in Alzheimer’s and dementia research that is creating promising new treatments, and we’ll continue the fight for everyone living with the disease to have treatment options, care and support. Join the fight at alz.org/gpawalk.

The change to daylight saving time ⏰ may be especially challenging for individuals living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. Caregivers can help by following these tips.

Today kicks off #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth. Throughout the month, we’ll celebrate the strength and dedication of dementia caregivers. Share a tribute in honor of a special caregiver in your life at alz.org/honor. #ENDALZ
