Today's "Why I Walk" story comes to us from Philadelphia #Walk2EndAlz participant, Larry D. Smith, Jr.

[Alzheimer's Association Delaware Chapter @ALZDelaware]

"My motivation to participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer's is my Grandmother who passed from Alzheimer’s and my Aunt who is living with dementia," shares Larry. "This is a long-standing walk -- and organization -- and I plan to stay involved because it’s very important to me."

Today we recognize aunts and uncles impacted by Alzheimer’s or another dementia. For many of us, aunts and uncles are special family members — sharing their wisdom and love across generations. 💜 We fight to #ENDALZ in their honor and all those facing dementia. #AuntAndUncleDay
