. Registration and pre-walk activities begin at 8:30AM with the Walk beginning at 10AM. Pre-walk activities will include live music and some valuable memories from those who have been affected by Alzheimer’s Disease. Local volunteers have been working closely with the Alzheimer’s Association to plan and promote the Walk which will take place at the Decorah City Hall. The volunteer committee would like to urge their friends, family, neighbors and co-workers to join them in a movement to reclaim the future for millions.
Walk to End Alzheimer’s is more than a walk, it is an experience in which participants from all over Northeast Iowa will learn about Alzheimer's disease and how to get involved with this critical cause, from advocacy opportunities, research and clinical trial enrollment to support programs and services. Each walker will also join in a meaningful ceremony to honor those affected by Alzheimer's disease.
“There has never been a greater need for Iowans to join in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease by participating in Walk to End Alzheimer’s,” said Michaela Collins, Planning Committee member. “Funds raised will provide care and support services to the many residents of Iowa living with Alzheimer’s, while also contributing to advancing critically-needed research.”
The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Since 1989, the Alzheimer’s Association mobilized millions of Americans in the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk®; now the Alzheimer’s Association is continuing to lead the way with the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s – the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death. Start or join a team today at alz.org/walk or contact one of the planning committee members for more information.
