Minds Over Mountains is an initiative to end Alzheimer’s.

More than six million Americans age 65 and older and more than 120,000 residents of Wisconsin are living with Alzheimer’s disease, according to the Initiative to end Alzheimer’s, a group of programs of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.

There is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s.

Dr. Bill Stork his wife, Sheila, of Lake Mills, created Minds Over Mountains to support the UW Initiative to End Alzheimer’s. Dr. Stork says he is excited about what they can do.

"What excites me are the things we can do. We know there are lifestyles that will delay the onset. Physical activity is a really big deal. Relationships, staying engaged with your family, and people around you." 

Their annual Minds Over Mountains fundraiser on Sunday, June 14 on Owen Street in Lake Mills featured great music, local food, community spirit, and charitable giving at the Beer Garden. This community event continues to draw supporters from across southern Wisconsin. The event continues to raise awareness and support for those affected by Alzheimer's.
