Ruden Brothers To Chair Fairfield County Walk To End Alzheimer's

Press release from the Alzheimer's Association:

May 20 2020

Norwalk, CT – The Alzheimer’s Association Connecticut Chapter is pleased to announce that Dave Ruden will Chair the 2020 Fairfield County Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

“Mom has suffered for 10 years with Alzheimer’s and it’s been heartbreaking to watch and very difficult for my family,” Ruden said. “I’m involved to honor her and to do everything I can to contribute to finding a cure so no other families have to go through what mine and so many others have to go through.”

Ruden is the owner/editor of The Ruden Report, a website which primarily covers high school sports in Fairfield County and spotlights athletes. This will be his 5th walk and first as Walk Chair. His brother Jeffrey Ruden served as Walk Chair in 2019 and is Honorary Chair this year.

“Fortunately, I have a platform where I can get the word out to get more people to walk with us and raise as much money as possible. The fact that I’m able to do this with my brother makes it extra special,” Dave Ruden adds.

The Fairfield County Walk to End Alzheimer’s will take place on October 11th at Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk. We invite everyone to join us at this inspiring, empowering event. Please consider registering your team today by clicking here.
