Terra Hess of Woodhaven hugs her mother Teresa Teague of Monroe as they listen to the opening comments during the Walk to End Alzheimer's Sunday. Ms. Teague's mother, Colleen Iacoangeli-Hagen is currently a resident at the Lutheran Home and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's 4 years ago. Sunday's fundraising event, which was organized by the Alzheimer's Association, began with a ceremony in St. Mary's Park and featured several local speakers, including Beth Ann Choate, who lost her mother to Alzheimer's and has since become active in promoting the drive to find a cure. Walkers carried yellow and purple pinwheel flowers and many wore shirts bearing the names of loved ones affected by the disease.
