The UF Aging Scholars Team stepped up and out into the community again this year for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The team walked, creating memories together – while raising awareness for those who no longer can. Thanks to donations from Psychology alumni, faculty, students & friends, the team raised close to $3000. Our 23 walkers from Psychology and the broader UF and Gainesville community were led by co-captains Riley Bass and Gaya Prabhakaran (Life Story Lab: Dr. Bluck).
Alzheimer’s Disease is fatal: there is no cure. The walk is a compassionate, dedicated effort to raise awareness about dementia’s effects on older people and their families. The Alzheimer’s Association funds research/programs and provides caregiver support. For North & Central Florida Chapter, visit http://www.alz.org/cnfl/
