The Alzheimer’s Association’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s is a united movement to reclaim the future for millions. Walk to End Alzheimer’s will take place Saturday, Sept. 22, at YMCA Log Lodge in Rockford and Sunday, Sept. 23, at Hopkins Park in DeKalb.
Nearly 525 people from the Rockford area and 360 from the DeKalb area are expected at this year’s events to raise awareness and funds to fight Alzheimer’s disease.
Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s participants will participate in a 3-mile walk and will learn more about Alzheimer’s disease, advocacy opportunities, clinical trial enrollment, and support programs and services of the Alzheimer’s Association. Each walker will also join in a meaningful tribute ceremony to honor those affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
The end of Alzheimer’s disease starts here. Start or join a team at alz.org/walk [1] or by calling (815) 484-1300.
Volunteers are sought for the Rockford walk. Additional questions about volunteer opportunities may be directed to Louie Iovane, senior manager, volunteers, at liovane@alz.org [2] or (847) 779-6951.
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.

The Alzheimer’s Association is the world’s leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s research, care and support. Its mission is to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.
