Walk to End Alzheimer's is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support and research. Walkers can get information about the Alzheimer's Association's programs and services, research and clinical trial enrollment, and advocacy opportunities. Each walker will also join in a meaningful ceremony to honor those affacted by Alzheimer's disease.

All participants who raise $100 or more will receive a Walk to End Alzheimer's t-shirt and additional prizes; individuals who raise $500 or more will become members of the Walk to End Alzheimer's Champions Club.

Funds raised will provide care and support services to Peoria area residents living with Alzheimer's, while also contributing to the advancement of critically-needed research. Area services include a 24-hour telephone hotline, information and referral, care consultations, educational programming, safety services information, clinical trial opportunities and advocacy activities. Additional services include five monthly support groups in Peoria and one in Chillicothe.
