Stoughton Woman Raises Awareness for Alzheimer’s

From the Alzheimer's Association:

STOUGHTON, MA - Kayla Cifizzari, of Stoughton, will participate in the Neponset Valley Walk to End Alzheimer’s® on Sunday, September 25 at Patriot Place in Foxborough. Cifizzari joins the Walk to honor the memory of her great grandmother and great uncle. As an employee for a short term Alzheimer's and dementia unit, she has been hosting bake sales at her employer and in the local community to raise funds.

“This is an amazing opportunity to spread the word to get people involved in a great cause. I am very excited to be walking,” said Cifizzari.

“We are grateful to each person who makes a commitment to the Walk to End Alzheimer’s by participating, volunteering or making a donation,” said Jim Wessler, president/CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association, MA/NH Chapter. “The funds raised will provide support services to people impacted by Alzheimer’s, while also contributing to the research that is critical to putting an end to this disease.”

More than 5 million people in America are living with Alzheimer’s. The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research.
