2022 Walk to End Alzheimer’s
Every year, the Alzheimer’s Association hosts the Walk to End Alzheimer’s to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s research, support, and care. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest fundraising event for Alzheimer’s, raising millions of dollars.
The Alzheimer’s Association itself works year-round to end Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia through accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.
The Alzheimer’s Association and Community Training Connection share a goal of wishing to maximize quality care and support for individuals with Alzheimer’s. Through training, awareness, and fundraising, we’re working to improve the standard of care for residents with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
