Bradford Technologies Supports San Jose Walk to End Alzheimer's
Bradford Technologies has pledged to match employee contributions to help reach the goal of $10,000 for the San Jose Walk to End Alzheimer's at Arena Green, W Santa Clara St & N Autumn, San Jose, CA 95113.
There are currently more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's, and someone new is diagnosed with the disease every 68 seconds. The risk of Alzheimer's increases with age, and most people with the disease first exhibit symptoms after age 60. If effective treatment or prevention is not found, the number of people with Alzheimer's will continue to rise as the U.S. population age 65 and older continues to increase.
"The Walk to End Alzheimer's has special meaning for me because my grandmother is living with Alzheimer's and she experiences the debilitating effects of this disease every day," said Jennifer Didone, Team Bradford's captain and the company's human resources coordinator. "She's a real fighter and now I'm getting my chance to join in and fight against this disease with her. It's really touching to work for a company like Bradford that supports its employees in meaningful efforts like this one."
"I'm proud to be a part of a company that cares enough to take action for this worthwhile cause," said Joyce Peterson, CFO of Bradford Technologies. "It really is a privilege to use the company's resources to support our employees' efforts."
