Speaker, I rise today to recognize a group of people from my hometown of Ottumwa for taking part in a great event for an even greater cause. On October 23rd, 170 participants on 37 teams took part in the 2021 Walk to End Alzheimer's in my hometown of Ottumwa. The annual walk, led by The Alzheimer's Association, is held in over 600 communities across the United States to raise awareness of and funds for research for a disease that currently affects 5.8 million Americans. This year, I am proud to announce that the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Ottumwa raised $27,636 thus far with donations still coming in, exceeding their initial goal of $26,000. Thank you to the residents of Ottumwa and the over 600 communities across the United States who have stepped up and stepped forward to put an end to this deadly disease. Thank you, I yield back my time. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:24:51Z |
