Milford Seniors Walk To Raise $6K For Alzheimer’s Association

MILFORD, MA — A group of Milford senior citizens recently helped raise thousands for Alzheimer’s research by participating in an awareness walk. The local placed in the top 10 of all teams participating in the Foxborough event.

Here's more from a Cornerstone news release:

This past fall, Cornerstone at Milford Assisted Living participated in Greater Foxborough’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The senior community raised over $6K for the Alzheimer’s Association, ultimately placing 7th in the chapter’s top teams of 2022.

The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest fundraiser for Alzheimer’s care, support, and research and is hosted by Alzheimer’s Association, which provides educational programs and support to the millions living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, while advancing critical research that ultimately works toward finding a cure.
