Changes coming to Walk to End Alzheimer’s

Neighborhoods, trails and parks will be the site of this year’s 2020 Walk to End Alzheimer’s as the new Walk experience allows participants to walk everywhere to show support for those living with Alzheimer’s disease, according to a news release.

The Alzheimer’s Association is encouraging participants to walk as individuals or in small groups in light of restrictions caused by COVID-19.

Participants in this year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s can track their steps, follow a virtual Walk path and experience the time-honored traditions of the Promise Garden Ceremony.

The Cleveland Area Chapter holds four different community Walks in September and early October. They are: Ashtabula Walk: Oct. 10; Cleveland Walk, presented by the Cleveland Clinic Center for Brain Health: Oct. 4; Lake and Geauga Counties Walk, presented by Lake Health: Sept. 13; and Lorain County Walk: Oct. 4.
