RUN FOR GOOD
ALZHEIMER’S ASSOCIATION CONNECTICUT CHAPTER
The Alzheimer’s Association, founded in 1980, leads the way to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia – by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.

Alzheimer’s Association staff and trained volunteers offer community education programs, support groups and early-stage social engagement opportunities for those living with dementia and their caregivers.
The Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900) is a free service offering support for people living with dementia, caregivers, families and the public. Connect with a live person who can provide information, local resources, crisis assistance and emotional support – all available in over 200 languages. More…
