The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s® is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide, this inspiring event calls on participants of all ages and abilities to reclaim the future for millions. Together, they work to end Alzheimer’s disease, the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death. More than five million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease.
The Cleveland Area Chapter is pleased to announce three Walk events in Northeast Ohio this year:
• Sunday, September 13 at Metroparks Lake Farmpark in Kirtland at 8:00 am (NEW LOCATION!)

• Saturday, September 19 at All Pro Freight Stadium in Avon at 8:00 am
o Presented by Kaplan’s Furniture

More than 7,000 people from the greater Cleveland area are expected at this year’s events. At each location, walk participants will enjoy family friendly activities and join in a meaningful tribute ceremony to honor those affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
