While things looked a little bleak the day before, the morning of the Capital Region Walk to End Alzheimer's dawned on clouded, but dry skies. As light filled the sky, the day warmed, the clouds burned off, and droves of people arrived at Siena College for an absolutely stellar Walk Day!

Walk participants and volunteers were well fueled with food and drink provided by Chiobani, Starbucks, PepsiCo, Price Chopper, Saratoga Spring Water and Honest Weight Food Coop.
