BRIGHTON, Mich. - Feb. 20, 2018 - PRLog -- Christopher J. Berry, the first Certified Elder Law Attorney in Livingston County as well of the Founder of The CJ Berry Group, was recently recognized as one of the top fundraisers for the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's®.

As a team, Berry's "Elder Care Crew" raised ten thousand dollars and the committee on which he sits raised 100 thousand dollars all in the name of fighting Alzheimer's disease. More than five million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer's and, as one of the top leading causes of death in the United States, one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia.¹

"Myself and my team have dedicated our professional lives to helping people plan for the future," stated Christopher J. Berry, Esq., CELA, Founder of The Elder Care Firm and The CJ Berry Group. "One of the unfortunate circumstances that we see many and their families face is the horrible disease of Alzheimer's. The cure is out there and we're honored to do our small part in helping to find that through raising money for the Walk to End Alzheimer's."

In 2016, nearly 16 million caregivers in America provided over 230 dollars in value of care for those with Alzheimer's and other dementias; the yearly cost of Alzheimer's to the United States as a whole is anticipated to be over one trillion dollars by 2050. Over 600 communities across the globe come together to raise money to fight Alzheimer's through the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's^® every year; this is the largest event in the world to raise both funds and awareness to the disease.²
