Something constructive to fight dementia

DW is in memory care since April 29, two years after diagnosis of AD (atypical). Alzheimer's Association walk in my area is Sept. 11.  I have raised $1,750 so far.  It feels like something constructive to fight dementia (along with my anxiety etc.) when the options are very limited.  Keep fundraising in mind for the sake of dementia victims current and future, loved ones and yourself.
