The Alzheimerâs Association of Southwest Oklahoma is hosting the 2nd annual âPurses for a Purposeâ this month in an effort to close its fundraising gap.
The event was first held in 2019 and is the brainchild of Natalie Fitch and Bridget Randle. Both women have had loved ones affected by the disease and have been working with The Alzheimerâs Association of Southwest Oklahoma to raise money for a cure.
The Lawton Walk to End Alzheimerâs, which is held annually, sets a fundraising goal each year. Fitch and Randle created âPurses for a Purposeâ as a way to make up the deficit. Last yearâs inaugural event was such a success they brought it back this year.
