You're over halfway there! Thank you to the national NARFE teams participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's® for raising an impressive 67% of the $100,000 goal thus far! We are grateful for your commitment to fundraising and walking to help end this devastating disease. At Walk, we're fighting for a different future. For families facing Alzheimer's or another dementia today. For more time. For treatments. We're closer than ever to stopping Alzheimer's, but to get there, we need you. There's still time to join fellow chapter members for an inspiring event and take steps toward a future without Alzheimer's and all other dementia. Please register today and join us for Walk!
