About Memory Walk
The Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk®, nationally presented by Genworth Financial, is our national signature event. It brings together family, friends, caregivers and concerned community members — who all want to make a difference. Since 1989, Memory Walk has raised more than $200 million to help those battling Alzheimer's disease.
