Burlington, Washington- Skagit County residents are raising critically needed awareness and funds at the Alzheimer’s Association’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s® at the Burlington Edison High School on September 17th, 2016.

“Walk to End Alzheimer’s” is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s Association care, support and research programs. Walk to End Alzheimer’s participants will learn about Alzheimer’s disease, advocacy opportunities, clinical studies enrollment and support programs and services.  Walk participants also honor those affected by Alzheimer’s disease with the poignant Promise Garden ceremony.

Since 1989, the Alzheimer’s Association has  mobilized millions of Americans in the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk®; now the Alzheimer’s Association is continuing to lead the way with Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s – the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death.
