Lansing walk raises over $100,000 for Alzheimer’s research

Hundreds of residents from the greater Lansing area gathered at the Michigan State Capitol for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, one of the Alzheimer’s Association’s largest annual fundraisers. The event raised more than $100,000 to support dementia research and public education efforts.
