Hundreds Walk To End Alzheimer’s

Eureka, Ca., (KIEM) Hundred of Humboldt County locals strapped up their walking shoes for the county’s Annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s event.

Nearly 4500 county residents came out to support the walk to end Alzheimer’s.

The walk is a nation-wide event that runs through the months September through October.

“I work with clients of all ages so I see elderly clients and I see caregiver clients and Alzheimer’s is affecting all of them,” said Financial Advisor at Edward Jones Laura Middlemiss. “I wanted to be involved and we want to at Edward Jones to step up our involvement and support. We want to take on the responsibility to help lead the way.”
