We're on the MOVE to end Alzheimer's!
If you're the kind of person who's not going to sit on the sidelines when there's a chance to change the future, then you're the person we need. With more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's, and nearly 10 million more serving as caregivers, the time to act is now!
When you register for the Alzheimer's Association Memory WalkŪ, you're joining a nationwide community of thousands of people who are standing up and participating in the fight against this devastating disease.
Your journey to the end of Alzheimer's starts here. It's easy:
Register. It's free and takes just a few minutes online. Form a team. Participating in Memory Walk is even more fun with a group. Ask your co-workers, family and friends to walk as a team. You'll be amazed at how many people want to help. Fundraise. Every Memory Walk participant is asked to raise money for the fight against Alzheimer's. There is no fundraising minimum and Alzheimer's Association staff are ready to support you every step of the way with tips, tools and advice. Get Creative. Raise money with our online tools, hold a fundraising event, or ask for a donation on Facebook or when you're face-to-face. Walk! Memory Walk is a unique experience. See the difference you can make as we walk to change the course of Alzheimer's together. Be sure to become a fan on Facebook to help spread the word!
Memory Walk is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research. Since 1989, Memory Walk has raised more than $300 million for the cause.
All Memory Walk donations benefit the Alzheimer's Association, the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. The mission of the Alzheimer's Association is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.
