Woman with Alzheimer's begins 3,000-mile walk to raise awareness
Fox News
Thirteen years after an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, a California woman is more vibrant than ever — and she has just embarked on a walk across America to showcase the power of action in healthy aging.
Over five months, she will walk from San Diego, California, to St. Augustine, Florida. "Life is here to enjoy, and age is a number, but you don't have to be identified and characterized by that number." "I want people to see that no matter your age or circumstances, there are steps you can take to live a healthier, more vibrant life." Melissa Rudy is senior health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to melissa.rudy@fox.com.
"People wonder why would I put myself through this," Benjamin said during an on-camera interview with Fox News Digital the evening before her walk began. "I really want to share with others not to be discouraged."
