Peoplefit Health and Fitness sponsored a fundraiser for Alzheimer’s research on October first at Peoplefit Health and Fitness Center. 250 members and the general public attended the fundraiser, which included a silent auction and entertainment, and raised over $3000 for Alzheimer’s research. Alzheimer’s disease effects 4.5 million Americans by robbing them of their ability to learn, reason, communicate, and ultimately take care of themselves. Research has shown that eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and staying mentally and socially active decreases your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. If you would like to learn more about Alzheimer’s disease or make a donation to find a cure to such a devastating disease, please call the Alzheimer’s Association at 1(800) 272-3900 or visit them online at www.alz.org.
