More than 140,000 people are living with Alzheimer's or some form of dementia in the Bay Area.
"Who are you walking for? Why was it important for you to come out here," asked ABC7 Eyewitness News reporter Zach Fuentes.
"Well, my grandma had dementia. And that's the first kind of time when I was introduced to this kind of disease," said Nannette Wilkinson, Walker, Sage Eldercare.
"And now I work in care management, and a lot of my clients have a form of dementia or Alzheimer's. So it was really important for us to come out to represent our team."
More than $1.2 million have been raised for research, support and care programs.
