Do you work at an assisted living facility, doctor's office, senior center, church, or community organization? Do you have a family member, friend, neighbor, or coworker caring for someone with Alzheimer's or dementia?

**PLEASE SHARE THIS POST!** 💜

You never know who might be struggling quietly, feeling isolated, or simply looking for an opportunity to connect with others who understand their journey.

We have **30 spaces available**, and we want to make sure those spaces reach the individuals and families who could truly benefit from this experience.

Even if this program isn't for you personally, **one share could reach a family who needs it.**

Let's show what Cecil County can do when we come together for a great cause! 💜

A note from our Founder/CEO Stephanie Melucci

💜 **MY HEART IS SO FULL.** 💜

I don’t even know if there are enough words to thank every single person who **stood by my side today at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s ** — and everyone who supported us from near and far.

To every person who walked beside me, donated, sponsored us, bought a shirt, supported one of our fundraisers, shared our posts, encouraged me, or simply believed in what we are doing… **THANK YOU.** 💜

Today was emotional. This walk will always be deeply personal for me. Every step I take is for my MomMom, **Elizabeth K. Andrews**, and for every family who has had to watch someone they love face Alzheimer’s or dementia.

And somehow, for the **THIRD YEAR IN A ROW**, our team finished as the ** #1 fundraising team for the Harford/Cecil Walk to End Alzheimer’s!** 🥹💜

Together, we raised an incredible…

💜 **$10,852.85!** 💜

That number represents so much more than money. It represents hundreds of people choosing to care, choosing to remember, and choosing to fight for a future without Alzheimer’s.

I may have started this journey because of my MomMom, but I could NEVER do any of this alone. Today, looking around and seeing the people standing beside me reminded me exactly why I keep going.

**Thank you for standing beside me. Thank you for standing beside EKACF. Thank you for helping keep MomMom’s memory alive.**

Three years. Three years as the #1 team. And we’re not finished. 💜

**Raising Funds So Memories Can Continue.** 💜🧡

💜 TODAY IS WALK DAY! 💜

Today, we walk. Today, we remember. Today, we fight for a future without Alzheimer’s. 🧡💜

For the third year, I’ll be walking in honor and memory of the woman who changed my life forever — my MomMom, Elizabeth K. Andrews. What started from heartbreak has grown into something bigger than I ever imagined.

Today, **Elizabeth K. Andrews’ Angels** will take those steps together at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, carrying the names, memories, and stories of so many people who have been impacted by this devastating disease.

And this year, we reached our **$10,000 TEAM GOAL!** 🎉💜

That didn’t happen because of one person. It happened because of **EVERY SINGLE PERSON AND BUSINESS** who donated, sponsored, attended an event, bought a raffle ticket, purchased a shirt, shared a post, joined our team, volunteered, or simply believed in what we are trying to accomplish.

From the bottom of my heart — **THANK YOU.** 💜

A very special thank you to MaMa’s Graceful Creations for our beautiful Walk shirts this year! We are so proud to wear them today.

MomMom, I wish more than anything that you could be standing beside me today. But I know exactly why I’m walking.

**I walk for you. I fight for you. I keep your memory alive through every step.** 💜

Today isn’t just about reaching a fundraising goal. It’s about remembering those we’ve lost, supporting those still fighting, standing beside their caregivers, and reminding every family affected by Alzheimer’s that they are not alone.

Here’s to Walk Day 2026. 💜🧡
