- Karen McClure-Richard of Lewiston hugs her niece, Ella Fontaine, 10, of Cumberland prior to the start of the 2013 Central Maine Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Lewiston on Saturday. McClure-Richard and Fontaine are part of a 25 member team who walked in support of Fontaine’s grandmother, Pauline Fontaine, a Lewiston woman who has Alzheimer’s disease. This is the fifth year that “Team Pauline” has participated in the walk. More than 100 caregivers, advocates and people living with Alzheimer’s raised about $12,000 for research in the first of 11 walks scheduled to take place the next four weekends across Maine, said Jessica James of the Maine chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. More than 37,000 Maine people live with Alzheimer’s, which has no cure.
