The Yale Latino Networking Group (YLNG) is leading the way to Alzheimer’s first survivor by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s® on Sunday, September 29th at Lighthouse Point Park. Registration is at 8:30 am, and the walk begins at 10:30 am. The walk is family and pet friendly.
