The Fresh Market and Chef Carla Hall raised more than $94,000 in June through their Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month campaign! We're so grateful for this partnership — which has raised incredible awareness and exceeded fundraising goals for the second year in a row. 👏

Shoppers in Kentucky and 21 other states were a key ingredient to this success! Thank you to each and every store guest who purchased Carla Hall's With Love Market Meal Kits & Sides (10% of sales donated) or rounded up at the checkout in June.

This outpouring of generosity is making a real difference for the more than 7 million Americans living with Alzheimer's and the millions more who love and care for them. 💜

Together, we are fueling Alzheimer's research, care and support — one meal and one shopping trip at a time.

A morning walk became a lifesaving mission. 🐾

Earlier this year, Dan DiCadilo was walking his dog Gozier when she began barking insistently. She was laser focused on a nearby house. Dan didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. He tried pulling her along, but she kept edging him nearer to the house.

As they drew closer, Dan discovered a woman lying unresponsive outside in the cold wearing nothing but a white robe. He called 911 and Gozier remained by the woman's side until help arrived.

It turns out that the woman is living with Alzheimer's. Fortunately, she survived after spending a week in the ICU. The town of Ashland, Virginia officially recognized Gozier's lifesaving instinct. “If it wasn't for Gozier, I would have never stopped because I didn't see anything,” said Dan.

Thank you to our national corporate partner Edward Jones for sharing this story. Dan is a financial advisor for the firm. And a special thank you to Gozier for her heroism.

This video highlights how Kentucky used the HBI Road Map to build a statewide dementia coalition and develop a coordinated strategy that supports people living with dementia, caregivers and communities across the state.
