CaringKind’s 37th Annual NYC Alzheimer’s Walk & Brain Health Day

On October 18, 2025, teams from the ADRC Outreach, Recruitment, and Engagement (ORE) Core, WHICAP, Arts & Minds, and Old School Hip-Hop came together for CaringKind’s 37th Annual NYC Alzheimer’s Walk & Brain Health Day. The group, coordinated by Tarialy Hernandez, brought staff, partners, and community members (pictured above) together for a meaningful morning of connection and advocacy.

 
A highlight of the day was the recognition of Dr. James Noble (pictured above center and right) as a 2025 Walk Honoree. CaringKind celebrated him as a “visionary neurologist and advocate, using science, art, and community to improve the quality of life for those living with dementia and their care partners.” In his remarks, Dr. Noble emphasized the importance of science that drives meaningful change for patients, families, and caregivers—a message that deeply resonated with the crowd. His recognition underscores the wide-reaching impact of his work.
 

Didi Sanchez and the WHICAP team also rallied community members from Washington Heights and Harlem (pictured with Didi [center] right), who joined the walk in a strong show of support for dementia care and research.
 
The event reflected the strength of our partnerships and our shared commitment to advancing care for those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
