“We really get a mix of people who are walking. We have different flowers that actually represents reasons that people walk. So we have our blue flower for anyone who has actually been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia. We have our yellow flower who is anyone who is a caregiver for Alzheimer’s or dementia. Our orange flower is anyone who is an advocate who wants to join the fight to see the end for Alzheimer’s and dementia. We also have our purple flower and that’s for anyone who has a lost a loved one to Alzheimer’s or dementia,” said Cari Josephson, the walk director for the Alzheimer’s Association Wisconsin Chapter.
