A Walk to End Alzheimer's Disease is being held on Saturday.  The Alzheimer's Association hosts the event to raise awareness and funds for care, support and research.  The disease is the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death.  In order to raise awareness and funds for care, support and research, the Alzheimer's Association hosts walks across the country.

A Danbury-based doctor's office has formed a team for the Day.  Associated Neurologists Clinical Psychologist Dr Lori Wagner says the public is invited to walk with them, or if they have available resources, to provide financial support.

Wagner says memory difficulties are often associated with depression and anxiety as well.  Associated Neurologists hosts a support group.  It provides information about the disease and advice for caring for loved ones with Alzheimer's. 

More than 600 communities nationwide hosts these types of walks annually to reclaim the future for millions.  The New Milford walk is from 9am to noon on Saturday at Harrybrooke Park.  More information can be found here.
