Alzheimer's Association, Washington State Chapter

We have great news to celebrate.?? Thanks to the relentless work of our participants, volunteers, sponsors and staff, the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s has been ranked as the #2 peer-to-peer fundraising event in the U.S. for the fifth consecutive year, according to the Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum. Together, we have accomplished so much. But there is more work left to do—more communities to reach, more people to engage, and more steps to take. In the fight against Alzheimer’s, NOW matters more than ever. Now is the time for action if we are to achieve our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. Register now for Walk to End Alzheimer’s at alz.org/walk and help us keep the momentum going in your community. We can’t wait to see what we accomplish together this year. #Walk2endalz #ENDALZ
