Finishes Walk Across America
An adventure of a life time. I walked 2,790 miles, from San Diego, CA to St. Augustine, FL, with the message of hope that cognitive decline can be prevented and reversed.

In a wide-ranging interview with Dr. Heather Sandison on the Think Well Age Well podcast, Judy Benjamin reflected on her journey from an Alzheimer's diagnosis at age 67 to becoming a leading voice for hope, resilience, and action in brain health.
In an interview with Dr. Manna Semby, Alzheimer's survivor Judy Benjamin described her experience after being diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's disease in 2011 at age 67. Fourteen years later, at age 81, Benjamin is walking 3,000 miles across the United States, raising awareness about brain health and early intervention.
Judy Benjamin has finally reached the Atlantic, and on Saturday, November 15, dipped her toes into the water on Florida's St. Augustine Beach. During her walk, she met hundreds of people across America, all curious about what that woman in a bright yellow safety vest was doing.
Join Dr. Dale Bredesen and Judy Benjamin as we go LIVE to talk about the final stretch of her monumental walk across America. Her mission? To spread hope and raise awareness that Alzheimer's can be prevented and reversed.
