Walk to End Alzheimers is the world's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support and research. In Hawaii, there are four walks- Maui, Hilo, Kauai and Oahu. Currently there are bout 28,000 people diagnosed with Alzheimer's in Hawaii and more than 60,000 family caregivers. Fundraising is vital to be able to provide services to our local community and to continue to fund nation research projects. With the money raised, they someday, hopefully soon, find a cause and cure for this disease. In the meantime, the Alzheimer's Association will continue to provide support and services to families in need.

Experience:

Rebecca Halloran, Manager- Walk to End Alzheimer's plans and manages all four walks statewide in Hawaii for a little over a year. Her first year planning the walk, became the largest walk ever on Oahu- over 1,100 participants raising over $160,000. They are expecting this year 2019 to have 1,500 walkers and aiming to raise $175,000. What makes Rebecca unique in this field is her age- It's important for people to see that Alzheimer's has an impact on multiple generations and is something all should be concerned about and supporting.

Ten years ago, one of the most important person in Rebecca's life, her grandma was diagnosed with Alzheimers. For all the years dedicated to raising her, she wanted to give back in some way and now is motivated to work in a fundraising role for the Alzheimer's Association where she is able to spread awareness about the disease, offer their support services, and raise funds dedicated to finding a cause and cure.
