EVENT SUMMARY:
With more than 600 Walks taking place across the U.S. each fall, Walk to End Alzheimer’s® is the world’s largest fundraising event and supports the Association’s free educational programs and support groups, Alzheimer’s care services and advancements in treatment and research.
The Walk to End Alzheimer's will be full of flowers, each carried by someone committed to ending the disease. The Promise Garden Ceremony features multi-colored flowers, each color representing the person's connection to Alzheimer's disease. This visually striking display allows participants to unite in the fight against Alzheimer's, which affects more than 6 million Americans.
In Ohio alone, there are 220,000 people aged 65 and older living with Alzheimer’s – a number that is expected to reach 250,000 by 2025. One in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.
