Alzheimer's Association National Memory Walk

We're on the MOVE to end Alzheimer's!

If you're the kind of person who's not going to sit on the sidelines when there's a chance to change the future, then you're the person we need. With more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's, and nearly 11 million more serving as caregivers, the time to act is now!

The Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk® is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research.  Join us at the National Memory Walk for your choice of a one-mile or two-mile walk, plus a visit to our Memory Lane where participants can share stories that pay tribute to loved ones they have lost or are losing to Alzheimer's or other dementias.

Participation is free; however, walkers are encouraged to raise money.  All Memory Walk donations benefit the Alzheimer's Association, the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. 

No pets allowed except for certified service animals or service animals in training for the disabled.  For more information and/or to register, visit http://www.alz.org/nca, call 703-359-4440 or email: memorywalknca@alz.org.
