(Michigan City, IN) - More than $33,000 was raised locally to try and find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.  Over 160 area residents took part in a walk on Saturday, according to the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana Chapter.

Due to COVID-19, participants walked as individuals and in small groups on sidewalks, tracks and trails across the Michigan City area. 

In addition to finding a cure, AAGIC officials say the money goes toward things like education programs and a 24 hour helpline for people needing assistance.
