Alzheimer's Association Northern Virginia Memory Walk

We're on the MOVE to end Alzheimer's!

If you're the kind of person who's not going to sit on the sidelines when there's a chance to change the future, then you're the person we need. With more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's, and nearly 10 million more serving as caregivers, the time to act is now!

The Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk® is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research. Since 1989, Memory Walk has raised more than $300 million for the cause.

Memory Walk is a community event that joins friends, family and co-workers as they walk to end Alzheimer's. Participants typically register in teams (family, organization, and/or corporate) and fundraise using tools supported by the Alzheimer's Association.

The Northern Virginia Memory Walk is a one-mile walk followed by a candlelight rally where family members and friends can pay tribute to loved ones they have lost or are losing to Alzheimer's or other dementias. 

When you register for the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk®, you're joining a nationwide community of thousands of people who are standing up and participating in the fight against this devastating disease.  All Memory Walk donations benefit the Alzheimer's Association, the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research.
