Take a walk to help find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) - Join Arizona’s Family, the Alzheimer’s Association, and Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024, at 7:30 a.m. (Check-in), at Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza at the Arizona State Capitol.

Arizona is home to the fastest-growing rate of Alzheimer’s in the United States. The most common form of dementia, Alzheimer’s, is a brain disease that leads to memory loss and cognitive decline. There isn’t a cure, but we can take steps to change that.

There is no fee to participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, but the Association asks walkers to donate and raise money. Donations to the Alzheimer’s Association go toward patient care, treatment, and research for a cure.

The Phoenix Walk to End Alzheimer's is Nov. 2, 2024 at the Arizona State Capitol.(azfamily)
