We all show up in different ways for the ones we love — even when they’re no longer with us.

Tom Whalen is a dedicated Walk to End Alzheimer’s emcee and volunteer who shows up year after year in honor of his twin brother, Mike, who had Alzheimer’s.

Because he lived in another state, Tom didn’t see the changes in his brother firsthand. A conversation with his sister-in-law marked a turning point. She shared that Mike, once an accountant, was no longer able to do his job. He was just 49 years old.

As twins, their bond was unique. Tom remembers Mike as “a better athlete, a better man, a better father,” but most of all, a beloved part of a close-knit family. Through the loss of his twin brother, Tom found a way to turn his family's grief into purpose.

An on-air broadcaster, Tom was introduced to the Alzheimer’s Association when he was invited to join a Walk to End Alzheimer’s team. What started as a simple invitation quickly grew into something much more meaningful.

“I participate as a way to honor my brother. I wasn’t a hands-on caregiver, so this is a way to do something.” And “something” has become a decade of impact. For the past 10 years, Tom has served as the emcee at his local Walk, bringing energy, heart and connection.

When asked what his brother might think of his ongoing dedication to Walk to End Alzheimer’s, Tom shared “Mike had a dry sense of humor. He would likely rip me a new one and then hug and kiss me.”

💜 This National Brothers Day, we celebrate Tom and Mike’s story — and all the brothers and families impacted by Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Join Tom by participating in a Walk to End Alzheimer’s near you visit alz.org/walk.

Today, we’re proud to spotlight Ronie Bunao, a community educator and member of the Philippine Nurses Association of America (PNAA) — one of our national partners — whose dedication to education and outreach is empowering Asian and Filipino families.

As a nurse, Ronie has seen how Alzheimer’s and other dementias can impact families living with the disease. “Through my work, I’ve cared for many patients with dementia and witnessed how it affects both them and their families,” Ronie shared. “It’s something that stays with you.”

These experiences are what fuel Ronie’s passion for volunteering as a community educator. By providing culturally sensitive information, Ronie helps ensure caregivers and families feel informed, supported and less alone.

Through our partnership with PNAA, Ronie and fellow nurse leaders are empowering healthcare professionals and caregivers to enhance awareness, promote early detection, highlight the importance of research and support those living with the disease.

To anyone considering volunteering with the Alzheimer’s Association, Ronie has a simple message: “Go for it! it’s a meaningful way to give back. You’ll help empower families, and truly make a difference.”

💜 This Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we celebrate Ronie, PNAA and all of the other dedicated volunteers who are providing support for communities impacted by Alzheimer’s and other dementia.
