Join the cause! Walk To End Alzheimer's 2023

About 15 years ago, Hailey Adair's grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. As one of her grandmother's caregivers, Hailey really wanted to learn more about the disease and connect with other people going through a similar experience. That's what led her to the Alzheimer's Association of Washington and to participate in her first Walk To End Alzheimer's event! Hailey is now a proud employee, working to end Alzheimer's each and every day.

On the flip side, while Chef Ethan Stowell doesn't have a personal connection to Alzheimer's, he realizes the importance of raising awareness and research dollars. He'll be on hand for his first Walk To End Alzheimer's this year! Not only that, select Ethan Stowell Family Restaurants will help raise money all month long through special offerings on the menu.

In the meantime, Hailey met up with Ethan in his kitchen to learn how to make a dish that her grandmother, an avid gardener, would have loved, a fresh tabouleh salad with tomatoes fresh from the garden.
