The Alzheimer’s Association is inviting Northwest Houston residents to unite in a movement to reclaim the future for millions by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s.
The walk will be held at Vintage Park, 114 Vintage Park Blvd., on Saturday, Sept. 21, at 8 a.m.
Walk to End Alzheimer’s is more than a walk. It is an experience for thousands of participants in Livingston who will learn about Alzheimer's disease and how to get involved with this critical cause, from advocacy opportunities, the latest in Alzheimer’s research and clinical trial enrollment to support programs and services. Each walker will also join in a meaningful ceremony to honor those affected by Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer’s disease is a growing epidemic and is now the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death. As baby boomers age, the number of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease will rapidly escalate, increasing well beyond today’s more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s. In addition to the one mile walk, participants will enjoy 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 Livingston to join in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease by participating in Walk to End Alzheimer’s,” said Richard Elbein, CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association, Houston & Southeast Texas Chapter. “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.”
