Hundreds of smiling people participated in the Walk4ALZ 2024 walk this morning in Balboa Park. The annual event is a fundraiser for Alzheimer’s San Diego, a local nonprofit organization that helps many of the approximately 100,000 San Diegans living with dementia. Every dollar that was raised will stay in San Diego County.
I took these photographs as I walked near the group. I saw teams holding signs, many families in support of loved ones who have Alzheimer’s, folks along the route cheering on the walkers, and some fun costumes, too!

As a 5 year old l lived in a beautiful old Victorian at the corner of 5th & A 78 years ago, so Balboa Park was a frequent destination. As teenagers living in Imperial Beach, my friends and I often went on picnic group dates to the park and museum. Proms were held in some of the lovely ballrooms there. I do love my hometown and I miss it since health prevents my travel back now.
My husband of 49 years passed away 2+ years ago with Alzheimer’s, so I’m very pleased to see this article and know that whatever funds are raised will remain to benefit the citizens of San Diego!
