Join us for Memory Walk 2009 this fall! Walks take place in seven counties; NEW Open 5K Run in Dane County 5/26/2009

Help the Alzheimer's Association move toward our mission of one day living in a world without Alzheimer's – come to Memory Walk!

The Alzheimer's Association's Memory Walk is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research programs. Held annually in hundreds of communities across the country, this inspiring event calls on volunteers of all ages to become Champions in the fight against Alzheimer's. Champions include those living with the disease, families, caregivers, and corporate and community leaders who actively support Memory Walk in our community. Participants in Memory Walks across the United States have raised more than $300 million.

Proceeds from the walk support local outreach, education and support efforts throughout the nine Wisconsin counties we serve—Columbia, Dane, Grant, Green, Iowa, Lafayette, Richland, Rock and Sauk.

Join us at the walk nearest you! For more information, contact Miriam Boegel or visit www.alz.org/scwisc.
