Flathead Valley Walk to End Alzheimer’s

The Flathead Valley Walk to End Alzheimer’s is Saturday, Sept. 28, at Lawrence Park, 1105 North Main, Kalispell.  

Check-in and registration start at 10 a.m. Opening ceremonies and walk begin at 11 a.m. 

Walk to End Alzheimer's is the world's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support and research. It is held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide. 

Register now at alz.org/walk or on the day of the event. Participants can walk as individuals or as teams. The time is now to start or join a team and invite others to walk. 

It’s also time to start fundraising and spreading the word to help raise awareness. Participants not only fundraise, but they honor those we have lost and support the dementia community. 

For more information, contact Kelsey Pratt at (406) 371-1815 or email kepratt@alz.org. 

Funds raised from the Walks drive bipartisan support for federal Alzheimer's and dementia research funding, which reached $3.7 billion annually. It fights to protect people living with Alzheimer's and dementia through legislation such as the Promoting Alzheimer’s Awareness to Prevent Elder Abuse Act. It supports online message boards through ALZConnected, support groups and a free nationwide Helpline – 800-272-3900.
