It's time to MOVE!


Sign up and walk with us toward a world without Alzheimer's disease. The Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk® is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research – and it calls on people of all ages to take action in the fight.

Challenge yourself to start walking for a cure. This fall, Memory Walk events will be held in more than 600 communities across the country. Together, we can move a nation to end Alzheimer's!

Start your own team
First, select a walk near you and register online. You will have access to your very own Web site that you can use as your fundraising headquarters.

Starting a team is easy. Invite three people, and they'll invite three people - and before you know it, you'll have a team. Recruit family, friends and colleagues to join your team and ask them for donations.

Facts & Stats

This year, more than 220,000 people across the nation will be on the MOVE.
Our destination is a world without Alzheimer's.

Every 70 seconds, someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
Team up with the Alzheimer's Association to help us fight it.

Alzheimer's is the sixth-leading cause of death in the U.S.
We need your help to MOVE our cause forward.
