The 2012 Kutztown Walk to End Alzheimer’s raised more than $120,000 for research to find better prevention, treatments and a cure for a disease that affects an estimated 5.4 million Americans.

“We had another great walk today at KU,” said Kellie Butsack, of The Alzheimer’s Association.“The cloudy skies didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the more than 600 walkers and the rain held off.”

The walk raised more than $120,000 toward their goal of $150,000. Funds raised support Alzheimer’s Association programs and services in the community and help advance research to find better prevention, treatments and a cure.
