The University of Chicago's team was proud to come together at the Chicago ! It was a wonderful day of community, connection, and shared purpose as our team joined families, friends, caregivers, advocates, and community partners walking in support of everyone impacted by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

We are committed to advancing research, raising awareness, and building meaningful partnerships that bring us closer to a future without Alzheimer’s. Events like the Chicago Walk remind us that progress takes all of us and that every step makes a difference.

A special thank you to our team captain, Josslen Thieschafer, for bringing our team together and leading the way! Thank you to everyone who walked, supported, and helped make the day meaningful. Together, we are taking steps toward a future without Alzheimer’s.

August is National Wellness Month! The perfect reminder that taking care of your body also helps take care of your brain. Regular physical activity increases blood flow to the brain, delivering oxygen and nutrients that support healthy brain function.

Whether it's walking, skiing, swimming, gardening, or stretching, moving your body can also help reduce stress, improve sleep, and boost your mood which all play an important role in maintaining brain health.

Find a way to move that you enjoy this week and let us know your favorite activity in the comments!

For people living with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias, familiar daily routines can help reduce confusion and anxiety while creating a greater sense of comfort. Keeping regular times for meals, activities, and bedtime can also make caregiving feel more predictable and less stressful.

Remember, routines don't have to be perfect! They just need to be consistent. Small changes over time can have a meaningful impact. Caregivers: What's one routine that has worked well for you or your family? Share your tips in the comments!
