The Alzheimer’s Association, Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest fundraiser for Alzheimer’s research, care, and support. An estimated 55 million people are living with Alzheimer’s in the United States and 1 in 3 seniors will pass while suffering from Alzheimer’s or other dementias. With over 600 events nationwide, the Walk to End Alzheimer’s raises critical funds to fight for a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementias.
