This Veterans Day, we honor the courage of those who served — and the strength of the families who stand beside them.

Meet Fred B. Stevens Sr., who proudly served in World War II, the Korean War and was a Purple Heart recipient. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather whose laughter could light up a room. Fred lived a life of service, not just to his country, but to his family.

In 2008, Fred was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and later died from the disease. “We miss his spark and his ever-smiling, laughing personality that made him a wonderful grandfather,” shared his daughter Susan.

As a way to honor her father, Susan and her family team, Fred’s Freedom Fighters, participate in their local Walk to End Alzheimer's, not just for their family, but for the millions of families facing the disease.

💜 Today, and every day, help us honor Fred and the many other Veterans who have been impacted by Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

Carolyn Edwards-Johnson’s journey with the Alzheimer’s Association began with personal loss and continues with purpose. Carolyn’s father and grandmother both lived with Alzheimer’s in the final years of their lives.

After her father died from the disease in 2009, Carolyn got involved with her local Alzheimer’s Association chapter. She attended her first Walk to End Alzheimer’s alongside her stepmother and her children a year later.

What started as a way to honor her father’s memory soon became a mission. After several years of participating in Walk, Carolyn volunteered as a member of the logistics team, helping organize and support the event that brings hope to so many.

Her dedication is a powerful reminder that every step taken, every dollar raised and every hour volunteered brings us closer to a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. Carolyn believes that “the more people that are involved, the greater the impact.”

💜 Join Carolyn and thousands of others who are making a difference by participating in Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Learn more at alz.org/walk.
