MOLINE, ILLINOIS (October 4, 2022) — The Alzheimer’s Association is inviting Quad Cities area residents to join the fight to end Alzheimer’s by participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Saturday, October 8, 9AM, at the Vibrant Arena at The Mark (formerly The TaxSlayer Center). Registration is at 8AM.
The Walk to End Alzheimer’s helps support the Alzheimer’s Association’s critical research, care, and support across Iowa. It is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support, and research.
Alzheimer’s isn’t stopping and neither are we. Families facing Alzheimer’s and all other dementia need us now more than ever — and with your support, we can continue to be there for them. Every dollar you raise through Walk to End Alzheimer’s allows the Alzheimer’s Association® to provide 24/7 care and support while accelerating critical research.
More than six million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease – the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. Additionally, more than eleven million family members and friends provide care to people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. In Iowa alone, there are more than 66,000 people living with the disease and 73,000 caregivers.
Register and donate at alz.org/walk to get the most out of Walk Day and support the fight to end Alzheimer’s.
