Unite in a movement to reclaim the future for millions living with Alzheimer’s. Hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Maryland Chapter, this family-friendly event provides an opportunity for the community to learn about Alzheimer’s disease and how to get involved with this critical cause, from advocacy opportunities and clinical trial enrollment, to support programs and services.

Registration begins at 9 a.m., when walkers can drop off donations, pick-up T-shirts, take team photos, decorate posters and Promise Garden flowers, and enjoy refreshments provided by Giant Food and Panera.

Following a powerful opening ceremony that will focus on the mission of the Alzheimer’s Association and honor those affected by Alzheimer’s disease, the 3-mile walk will begin at 10 a.m. Everyone is encouraged to stay afterward for additional activities, including the Kids’ Corner.

Participants can register as individuals or teams. Those who raise at least $100 will receive a Walk to End Alzheimer’s t-shirt.

Its mission 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.
