All Skate for Alzheimer's - Caring for the Caregiver
POSTED 8.17.19

LOS ANGELES, CA –In 2018, the Alzheimer’s Association identified Alzheimer’s disease as a “silent epidemic” and emerging health crisis among aging African Americans. As a result, it has now become crucial to address the impact of the disease on the health and well-being of the African American family, community and caregiver.

Therefore in recognition of “World Alzheimer’s Day” on September 21, 2019, the Grand Park Foundation is launching its inaugural signature fundraising event, “All Skate for Alzheimer’s.” The overall goal of this extraordinary 3 day event is to better educate Los Angeles’ African American community on Alzheimer’s disease and the importance of brain wellness and caregiver support.

And in homage to the recent resurgence of LA’s urban roller skating culture,"All Skate for Alzheimer's" is also bringing the first ever outdoor roller rink to Downtown LA's Grand Park. So come out and SKATE, LEARN & CARE!

If you are a skater who has been affected by Alzheimers as a caregiver and you would like to make a difference, there are a couple of things you can do. 1) Make your way to the All Skate Event and 2) share your story in support for solidarity. Contact Desi@SkateGroove.com for information on how to share your story.
