The Alzheimer's Association is hosting its annual Walk to End Alzheimer's at the Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater, 1013 Colgate St. in College Station, on Nov. 3.
Alzheimer's disease is a growing epidemic and is now the nation's sixth-leading cause of death. Today, more than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer's.
In addition to the one-mile walk, there will be family-friendly entertainment and special tributes to those who have experienced or are experiencing Alzheimer's.
"There has never been a greater need for the citizens of the Brazos Valley area to join in the fight against Alzheimer's disease by participating in Walk to End Alzheimer's," Richard Elbein, CEO of the Houston & Southeast Texas Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, said in a press release. "Funds raised will provide care and support services to the increasing number of residents in Texas living with Alzheimer's, while also contributing to advancing critically needed research."
The Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support and research. To start a team, or join one, visit www.alz.org/walk[1] .
