The Walk to End Alzheimer's

Description

Join us for the Walk to End Alzheimer's at Iowa Western Community College on 10/4/2025. This 2 mile walk, which is organized by the Alzheimer's Association aims to raise money to support the Alzheimer's Association's efforts in providing care and support for those affected by Alzheimer's, as well as funding research into potential treatments and a cure. The walk will feature local resources for caregivers and will include The Promise Garden ceremony which is a moving tribute that signifies our solidarity in the fight against the disease. The colors of the Promise Garden Flowers represent participants’ connection to Alzheimer’s — their reasons to end the disease. Blue: Someone living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. Purple: An individual who has lost someone to the disease. Yellow: A person who is currently supporting or caring for someone living with Alzheimer’s. Orange: A participant who supports the cause and the Association’s vision of a world without Alzheimer’s and other dementia®.
