One in eight older Americans has Alzheimer's disease. Statistically, there are 11,500 victims now living in The Villages.

Alzheimer's disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and the only cause of death among the top 10 in the United States that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed. There are no survivors.

State Representative H. Marlene O'Toole, a Village of Mira Mesa resident, is the honorary chairwoman of the walk.

To participate in the walk, Villagers should pick up a registration form at any of The Villages recreation centers. Or go to the AFO web site (http://alzheimersfamily.org/special-events/the-villages-support-walk/) to download the forms.

Help find a cure for "the long goodbye."

If you know a caregiver, find a way to give her or him a break.
