Walk to End Alzheimer's 2024 - Fresno Madera
Governor Newsom recently declared November as Alzheimer's Awareness Month in California.
Alzheimer's impacts over 6 million Americans, including 690,000 Californians. CIRM has awarded $35 million in Alzheimer's research, supporting projects that use stem cell models to better understand the disease and test potential treatments.
CIRM attended the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's in Fresno-Madera, connecting with patients and caregivers affected by the disease. Read more about the event on our blog: https://blog.cirm.ca.gov/2024/11/01/ca-advancing-alz-research/
