What is the Walk to End Alzheimer's™
The Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's™ is our national signature event and brings together family, friends, caregivers and concerned community members — who want to make a difference. Since 1989, Walk to End Alzheimer's has raised more than $300 million to help those battling Alzheimer's disease. In 2011, more than 326,140 participants walked, 39,060 teams were formed and more than $44,500,000 was raised.

With more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's, and nearly 11 million more serving as caregivers, the time to act is now!
