Walking to Bring Awareness to Alzheimer’s
Kommer Bave & Ciccone LLP has been fundraising for, and will be participating in, the Westchester Walk to End Alzheimer’s 2025 on October 5th. This walk raises funds to support the local families who are struggling with a family member with the disease, as well as to research efforts towards a cure. One in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, and in Westchester County, 13.5% of adults 65+ are living with the disease, 2% higher than the national average. Almost all of us know someone whose life has been touched by this disease.
Yet, there is hope. Thanks in part and due to support from past Walks there has been progress:
- Two FDA-approved treatments can now slow the progression of Alzheimer’s in its early stages.
- A new blood test shows promise in aiding earlier and more accurate diagnoses.
- Research has proven that healthy habits — such as exercise, social engagement, and managing chronic conditions — can reduce risk and improve brain health.
