About Walk to End Alzheimer’s

The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer's is our national signature event. Since 1989, Walk to End Alzheimer’s has raised more than $300 million to help advance research and support for those battling Alzheimer’s disease. In Northeast Ohio, the two walks bring together more than 2000 family, friends, caregivers, and concerned community members. In the face of this devastating disease, the walk gives you an opportunity to make a difference and give hope to the millions who are affected.
