HealthLinksSC.com | 73 “Our walk is all about fighting for a different future,” said Sulkowski. Held every year in more than 600 communities nationwide, the two-mile Walk to End Alzheimer’s is an opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to help advance the cause. “There is something that everyone can do to get involved,” Sulkowski stated. “You can join a planning committee or be a day-of volunteer. Registration is free. We are driven by donor dollars, so you can set a goal and begin fundraising today.” “You can even get involved by telling your story,” she added. “Share it with the Alzheimer’s Association. Share it with your state-level policymakers to help support our advocacy work.” For more information about registering for the walk, volunteer opportunities, the 24/7 help line or the Leqembi approval: visit alz.org/sc/volunteer or alz.org/ news/2023/lecanemab-leqembi-traditional-fda-approval-full.
