The Alzheimer's epidemic is growing, but we're determined to stop it.  Make a difference in the lives of the 120,000 Indiana residents living with Alzheimer's disease. The Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's™ is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research - and it calls on volunteers of all ages to become champions in the fight against this fatal disease. Since 1989, the Walk to End Alzheimer's™ has raised more than $260 million nationally for the cause.
