Donate NowAlzheimer's Association invites Rhinelander area residents to join 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer's, Sept. 20
“What makes this Walk so meaningful is the way it unites our community,” said Jim Brust, Walk to End Alzheimer’s, Rhinelander Chair. “When we walk together, we remind each other that no one is facing this disease alone. This event is proof that our collective strength can create real change.”
The walk features the inspiring Promise Garden Ceremony, where participants carry colorful flowers, each representing a personal connection to the disease.
More than 7 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer’s, one of the nation’s leading causes of death. Over 11 million family members and friends provide unpaid care for those affected. In Wisconsin, more than 110,000 people are living with Alzheimer’s, and tens of thousands of caregivers are supporting them every day. In Oneida County alone, over 1,315 residents age 65 and older are living with dementia.
Exciting progress in both treatments and early detection has brought new hope to millions of families. Breakthroughs in medical science, fueled by decades of research, advocacy, and community support, are helping people receive answers sooner and benefit from new ways to slow the progression of the disease. These advances strengthen our determination to keep moving forward toward a world without dementia.
This year, the Alzheimer’s Association proudly welcomes Bill Schroeder, former Milwaukee Brewers player and longtime television color commentator, as the Honorary Statewide Chair for all 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer’s events in Wisconsin.
