About Walk to End Alzheimer's
Walk to End Alzheimer's is the Alzheimer's Association's signature nationwide fund-raising event. Each fall, tens of thousands of people walk together - including family members, friends, caregivers, community and business leaders - to help make a difference in the lives of people affected by Alzheimer's and to increase awareness of the disease and the courage of those facing its daily challenges.
Become part of the group of individuals, corporations and organizations that are proud to lead the fight against Alzheimer's disease. Enjoy entertainment, refreshments, and fun for the whole family.

Walking as a team allows you to pool resources and enthusiasm. . Don't forget - All sponsorship and team-raised funds remain in our local community and are used to develop and maintain vital programs and services to those with Alzheimer's disease, their families, and caregivers.
