The Alzheimer’s Association accepted $570 from the Floyd County Public Health and Hospice Care of North Iowa.
Greg Woods, Alzheimer’s Association events coordinator, accepted two checks and gave a presentation on Alzheimer’s effects in Iowa and the United States to the small crowd gathered.
Every 65 seconds someone develops Alzheimer’s disease, Woods told the group.
Arlene Thomas delivered a $500 check to Woods in honor of Larry Fuls, who died in 2017.
Connie Goddard, a nurse at Floyd County Public health, introduced Woods at the start of the event.
A check for $70 was given from Floyd County Public Health from sales of bracelets that raise awareness of Alzheimer’s Disease.
