The Lodge at Shelburne Bay and Otter Creek again joined supporters from across the state in the annual Walk to End Alzheimer's disease. This is the nation's largest annual fundraiser for the Alzheimer's Association, an organization committed to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support, and research.

The money raised in Vermont's Walk to End Alzheimer's go directly into programs in local communities to support the thousands of families living with Alzheimer's disease as well as to aid research to better understand the disease and to help find a cure. Alzheimer's disease is the nation's sixth leading cause of death.
