Lyndse Sager is the southern Oklahoma walk manager for the Oklahoma Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. Lyndse started this position in January 2019, following seven years as a fundraising development manager for the American Cancer Society. She is a proud 2006 alumna of Oklahoma State University and was reared in Claremore.
Lyndse and her husband, Connor, are parents to their two boys: three year old Stetson and Sawyer, who is 22 months. They reside in Duncan.
As a co-caregiver for her beloved grandfather, who is currently living with mixed dementia - including Alzheimer’s - she knows first-hand the struggles caregivers and persons with dementia face. She is proud to bring the Walk to End Alzheimer’s to our city. Chickasha is one of eight communities across Oklahoma to host a walk, and Lyndse looks forward to working with our town’s leaders to help create a world without Alzheimer’s.
