One in three seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia. Lack of a cure leaves more than 6 million Americans fighting the disease within themselves, not to mention the difficulties faced by their caretakers and loved ones.
Currently, the U.S. spends $321B on Alzheimer's in one way or another. that number is expected to grow to $1T by 2050, according to the Alzheimer's Association website.
The Alzheimer's Association says raising fund through the walk will help researchers as they get closer than ever to finding a cure.
