LC Athletic Training Crew Raises Money to Fight Alzheimer’s

Lynchburg College athletic training faculty and students raised nearly $1,500 Saturday at Lynchburg's Miller Park at the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's™, the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds to fight Alzheimer's disease. The Hornets walked to help reclaim the future for millions and the funds are committed to raising awareness (along with) delete for Alzheimer research, care and support.

LC participants included: Katherine Zvara, Kathleen O'Day, Sam Smith, Kirsten Brock, Katherine and Kaitlin So, Willie Morsche, Isaac Wilson, Sarah Koehn, Patrick Deleonibus, Meredith Buskard, Ally Cannella, Rachel Kazman, Emily Evans, Pat Aronson, Courtney Williamson, Tom Bowman and Lucas Bianco.

Currently, more than five million Americans have Alzheimer's and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this disease.
