Area residents are invited to join the fight to end Alzheimer’s by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s – River Cities on Saturday, Sept. 20th, at Colvill Park in Red Wing.
This years goal is to raise $40,000 for dementia support programs and research.
On Walk day, participants honor those affected by Alzheimer’s with the poignant Promise Garden ceremony — a mission-focused experience that signifies our solidarity in the fight against the disease.

Last years event featured about 125 walkers and many donors and sponsors who raised more than $31,000 to support the Alzheimer’s Association.
