Each color of flower represents a different meaning for those participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Blue means one is living with the disease or another dementia. Purple means you have lost someone to Alzheimer’s disease. Yellow means you are supporting someone with Alzheimer’s. Orange means that you are supporting the Alzheimer’s Association. And, the white flower is symbolic of the first person in the future to hopefully survive Alzheimer’s disease.
