Walk to End Alzheimer's™

Walk to End Alzheimer's

Registration is now open for our 2012 Walks!

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 and 11 locations in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, this inspiring event calls on participants of all ages and abilities to reclaim the future for millions.

When you participate in the Walk, your fundraising dollars fuel our mission-related initiatives of care, support and research. In addition, your actions, both through fundraising and participating in the event, help to change the level of Alzheimer’s awareness in your community.
