Join the Fight Against Alzheimer’s Disease
Participate in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s®—the world’s largest event dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support, and research.
On Walk day, participants will honor those affected by Alzheimer’s with the meaningful Promise Garden ceremony. This missiondriven experience unites us all in the fight against the disease, with walkers carrying flowers of different colors—each representing a unique connection to Alzheimer’s.
Nearly 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease today. Additionally, more than 11 million family members and friends are providing care for those with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
In Illinois alone, over 233,000 people are living with the disease, supported by 314,000 caregivers.
