About Walk to End Alzheimer's

 
  The Walk to End Alzheimer's is nationally presented by Genworth Financial, and is our national signature event. It brings together family, friends, caregivers and concerned community members — who all want to make a difference. Since 1989, Walk to End Alzheimer's has raised more than $300 million to help those battling Alzheimer's disease.
