Join us in our Walk to End Alzheimers

By Alika Salazar

We’re very excited to announce that our team here at iParts Repair will be participating in The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s and we’re inviting all our friends to join our team. It’s happening from 9am to noon on October 1, 2016 at the State Capitol (South Steps) in Sacramento.

The Walk to End Alzheimer's is more than a walk. It is an experience for 3,200 participants in the Sacramento area who will learn about Alzheimer's disease and how to get involved with this critical cause, from advocacy opportunities and clinical studies enrollment to support programs and services. Walk participants also honor those affected by Alzheimer's disease with the poignant Promise Garden ceremony.

Alzheimer's disease is a growing epidemic and the nation's sixth-leading cause of death.  As baby boomers age, the number of individuals living with Alzheimer's disease will rapidly escalate, increasing well beyond today's more than 5 million Americans to as many as 16 million by 2050.

In addition to the 1 mile and 3 mile walks, participants will enjoy the emceeing of KNCI's Tom Mailey and CBS13's Tony Lopez, along with terrific music, great company and a special tribute to those who have experienced or are experiencing Alzheimer's.

Would you like to help individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s? Great, you can join our team and walk with us by visiting our Facebook page and sign up at https://www.facebook.com/iPartsandPhoneRepairs/ or you can donate directly to this worthwhile cause. If you wish to make a donation, please stop by any one of our three stores and we’ll help you from there. Last year, this amazing organization raised over $350,000 from just one walk! With over 400 walks every year from all around the nation, this organization is making a huge difference.
