The Care Blair’s Team was formed in support of Matt Blair and has been participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s since 2003. Matt lost his fight with Alzheimer’s disease on Feb. 12, 2011. It is in memory of him and to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research that the Care Blair’s continue to support this event.

The team proudly participated in the 2012 Walk to End Alzheimer’s, located at Asbury in Solomons on Saturday, Sept. 15.
