The fight to is stronger because of YOU, Connecticut. 💜✨ As we close out the year, we want to show our utmost appreciation for our Walk to End Alzheimer's participants, teams, sponsors, donors and volunteers (+ everyone else in between and behind the scenes!) for a truly incredible 2025 season.

Because of all of you, our small but mighty state has raised a record-breaking $2 MILLION and counting for the local care, support and public policy intiatives helping to end this disease. We are continuing to foster breakthroughs in research and treatment options for those facing Alzheimer's and dementia, and we know that even bigger and better things are coming in 2026.

The Connecticut Chapter staff and volunteers thank you!

“Cooking latkes, lighting the candles, serving others, hanging out and laughing—those moments mean way more to us than anything we could buy.”

For Dayna and her husband Adam, who is living with Alzheimer’s, the meaning behind Hanukkah feels stronger than ever.
Their family traditions have evolved over time. As their kids grew up and life shifted, they began focusing more on experiences than on presents. And after Adam’s diagnosis, slowing down became even more important.
One tradition that remains close to their hearts is volunteering. Since they don’t celebrate Christmas, they serve dinner at a local mission each year.

“It’s become very special for our family—a way to give back and spend the holiday season in a way that reflects what matters to us.”

Dayna says the holidays aren’t about perfection anymore. Living with Alzheimer’s means adapting plans and creating space for rest and quiet moments.
“I’ve let go of the pressure for the holidays to be perfect. The season can be loud and hectic, and changes in routine can create confusion, so we try to communicate clearly and move gently through each day. Sometimes that means stepping away from the noise or simplifying plans.”

For Dayna and Adam, Alzheimer’s does not define their family or their celebrations. They still decorate, cook, laugh and celebrate—just at a pace that feels right.
💜 This season, Dayna hopes others will remember what matters most: time together.
