Register today for the Alzheimer's Association 2013 Walk to End Alzheimer's, the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research.

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's 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 $389 million nationally for the cause.
