Help to change the course of this disease by walking.  Since 1989, we’ve mobilized millions of Americans in the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk; now we ask you to register for Walk to End Alzheimer’s, the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research.  Let’s end this disease-the nation’s sixth–leading cause of death.

Walk to help our grandparents, parents, spouses, partners, brothers, sisters and friends living with the disease.  Help support millions of caregivers emotionally and financially.

When: Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011

Time: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

We’ll meet at the bandstand by the lake, walk when it’s cool, enjoy live music, lunch and lots of fun activities for all ages (balloons, magic, face-painting, massage and raffle prizes). Stay after the event for horseshoes, paddle-boating or a visit to the zoo.

Event Info:

Walk Distance: Join the community for a 5K (3-mile) walk around the Park (or take a shortcut).
Dogs: You are encouraged to bring your dog as long as it remains on a leash. Due to the large number of people and the unknown disposition of dogs that may be in attendance, the Alzheimer's Association cannot be responsible for the safety of your pet.
