COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA, September 12, 2020 – The Alzheimer’s Association is inviting Harlan and surrounding area residents to join the fight to end Alzheimer’s by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s® on Saturday, September 12th, beginning with a live stream at 10-a.m., a drive-by View-Only Promise Garden in the Harlan Pioneer Park, from 9-until 11-a.m., with the walk commencing anytime on and after Sept. 12th.

Details: The Harlan Walk to End Alzheimer’s continues, but instead of hosting large gatherings, the Alzheimer’s Association is encouraging participants to walk as individuals or in small groups on sidewalks, tracks and trails in their community and post their Walk pictures on social media with #Walk2EndAlz and tag @alziowa. Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research.

You may do your part by walking on any and every sidewalk, track and trail in the Harlan area and surrounding communities.  It’s not too late to register at: act.alz.org/HarlanWalk to get the most out of Walk day and support the fight to end Alzheimer’s. This year, more than ever, Walkers across Harlan and beyond need to come together to support all those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementia. With the dollars raised, the Alzheimer’s Association can continue to provide care and support to families during these difficult times while also advancing critical research toward methods of treatment and prevention.

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. Since 1989, the Alzheimer’s Association 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. Visit alz.org/walk to register and learn more.
