Join us as we reclaim the future for the millions of Americans affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Registration for the 2013 Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s® is now open!
When you walk, you’re part of the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds to advance Alzheimer’s care, support and research. You’re part of something bigger than yourself — a movement — a chance to make a difference in the lives of people facing Alzheimer’s. Whether you’re walking for your friends or family, a caregiver or person living with the disease, or to stop rising health care costs and fight the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death, we all have a reason to walk.
And a huge thank you to our 2012 Champions Club members, each of whom raised more than $500 for this critically important cause.
