Join us for the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s— the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Walk to End Alzheimer’s unites the entire community in a display of combined strength and dedication in the fight against this devastating disease. When you participate in Walk, your fundraising dollars fuel our mission-related initiatives and your actions both through fundraising and participating in the event, help to change the level of awareness in your community. This year’s Walk will take place on
Saturday, October 26, 2019 at Bishop Ranch in San Ramon.
More than 5.7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, the sixth-leading cause of death in the U.S. and the only disease among the top 10 causes that cannot be cured, prevented or even slowed. In Contra Costa County alone, there are over 20,000 people living with the disease and and that number is expected to increase by as much as 85% by 2030.
