Lambertville IOOF Lodge # 467 Walk to End Alzheimer's
Walk to End Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's Disease is the most common type of
dementia involving parts of the brain that controls thought,
memory and language. It can seriously affect a person's
ability to carry out daily activities. According to the Center
of Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), in 2010, as many as
5.8 million Americans were living with Alzheimer's Disease
and this number was projected to nearly triple to 14 million
people by 2060. The number of people living with the
disease double every five years beyond the age of 65.
The Lambertville Independent Order of Odd Fellows
Lodge #467 and the Eva Rebekah Lodge #299 will be
sponsoring a "Walk to End Alzheimer's" on Sunday,
September 15, 2024 from 1 - 4 p.m. at Stoneco Park,
located at 7100 Whiteford Rd., Ottawa Lake (corner of
Sterns and Whiteford Rd).
The lodges will walk under the team name "Krumm's
Krusaders" in honor of their long-time member Fred Krumm
who cared for his wife, Dorothy, an Eva Rebekah member,
as she succumbed to Alzheimer's during the last 15 years
of her life. After her passing, Fred continued the fight by
supporting the Alzheimer's Association and serving as a
team captain for the Walk.
With the prevalence of Alzheimer's many people know
at least one person or more afflicted with this disease.
Join the Krumm's Krusaders' event on September 15th.
Come out to walk at the Stoneco Park or just stop by to
make a donation to help fight Alzheimer's Disease
