Now is the Time to End Alzheimer's

The Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's® is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support, and research. Held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide, this inspiring event calls on participants of all ages and abilities to reclaim the future for millions. Together, we can end Alzheimer's disease, the nation's sixth-leading cause of death.

In 2012, the Delaware Valley Chapter walks raised over $1.3 million in the fight against Alzheimer's disease by hosting nearly 14,000 walkers and over 1,100 teams. Our Walkers will not take the battle against Alzheimer's lying down, and neither will we! Please join the fight by joining us in the 2013 Walk to End Alzheimer's, because NOW is the time to end Alzheimer's disease.
