WILLMAR — Those impacted by Alzheimer's are invited to stretch their legs, meet up with friends and donate a part of their morning to raise funds for Alzheimer's research this Saturday.
The Alzheimer’s Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to Alzheimer’s care, support and research, is inviting Willmar residents to participate in its West Central Minnesota Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Sept. 17.
The walk will be at Robbins Island Regional Park, located on U.S. Highway 71 North in Willmar. Check-in for the event starts at 9 a.m. An opening ceremony will take place at 10 a.m., and the walk will follow. The event will follow state and CDC's COVID-19 protocols regarding social distancing.
Participants are encouraged to register early and help the Alzheimer’s Association reach its $40,000 goal. Registration is free, but contributions raised at the walk will fund care and support programs in the West Central Minnesota region, support advocacy efforts for families affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia, and advance research efforts.
Participants will honor those affected by Alzheimer’s during the Promise Garden ceremony on the day of the walk. The colors of Promise Garden flowers represent a person’s connection to the disease.
