From San Francisco to South Bay to San Diego, members have or plan to participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. San Francisco Insurance Professionals are walking on November 9th. Held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide, the Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds to help with care, support and research. Our members are not only raising awareness but thousands of dollars for this cause.
A few facts:
In the United States someone develops Alzheimer’s every 65 seconds.
More than 5 million Americans are living with this disease.
Between 2000 and 2017, deaths from Alzheimer’s has increased 145 percent.
Almost two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s disease are women.
One in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia.
Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States.
The CA Council of IAIP is so very proud of our members for participating, caring and giving back to their communities. Thank you!
