Walk to end Alzheimer's in Lake in the Hills

Hundreds of McHenry County residents will unite in a movement to reclaim the future for millions at the Alzheimer's Association's Walk to End Alzheimer's.

In 2014 the McHenry County Walk To End Alzheimer's raised more than $78,000, contributing to more than $67 million raised nationwide for care, support and research efforts for those impacted by Alzheimer's.

Walk to End Alzheimer's participants will learn about Alzheimer's disease, advocacy opportunities, clinical studies enrollment and support programs and services.

Walk participants also honor those affected by Alzheimer's disease with the poignant Promise Garden ceremony.

On Sunday, Sept. 27, registration will take place at 8 a.m. Opening ceremony is at 9:30 a.m. and the walk will begin at 10 a.m. at Sunset Park, 5200 Miller Road in Lake in the Hills.

The Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's is the world's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer 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 - the nation's sixth-leading cause of death.
