Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s disease care, support and research. We walk for future generations so they may never know the devastation of this disease. We all have a reason to end Alzheimer’s and help put a stop to the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death.
For those of you that may not know… In 1994, Jimmy’s father, James Delaney Buffett, Jr. was stricken with Alzheimer’s disease and passed away at age 83 in May of 2003, several years after being diagnosed.
Please join us as we Party With A Purpose for Alzheimer’s by joining the team or donating. DETAILS COMING SOON!
