Alzheimer’s walks across America.
The Alzheimer’s Association’s largest fundraising event is the Memory Walk. Since 1989 when the Memory Walk was launched, it has raised over $200 million to help those battling Alzheimer’s Disease.
People choose to walk for different reasons. But the three main ones appear to be to honor someone you love, to raise public awareness, and to help make a difference for people with Alzheimer’s Disease by raising money.
You can walk as an individual or set up a corporate or family team. If you don’t want to walk or prehaps, cannot walk, there are other ways of participating. There is always a need for volunteers to help plan and coordinate the event.
The walks take place throughout the year in more than 600 communities across the United States. You can find information on the walks in your community at the local chapter of Alzheimer’s Association or by checking online.
