WHY: The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. More than 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, including over 580,000 Floridians. Events like this help fund vital resources and research for families affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
Walk to End Alzheimer’s Palm Beach will take place on Saturday, Nov. 22, at Dreher Park, 5701 Dreher Trail S., in West Palm Beach.
On Walk day, participants will take part in the moving Promise Garden Ceremony, where colorful flowers symbolize the personal reasons we walk — for a loved one, as a caregiver, as a supporter, or in memory.
