Chapter’s Memory
Walk is our

7,000 people across
the 21 walks that we
host in the
59-county territory
served by the
Chapter. It is
estimated that
nearly 500,000
Pennsylvanians
currently live with
Alzheimer’s disease
or a related
dementia.
Nationally, the
number of people
with Alzheimer’s is
expected to
quadruple over the
next fifty years if
no cure is found.
Your support ensures
that those who are
directly affected by
dementia, as well as
those who struggle
with seeing their
loved ones suffer,
are able to find the
compassion,
education, and
continued assistance
they need from the
Chapter. Proceeds
from the Memory
Walks support these
valuable services as
well as funding
research aimed at
finding treatments
and a cure for this
disease. We
hope you will join
us in taking steps
to eventually end
Alzheimer’s and
continue our support
for today’s
courageous
caregivers while
creating a future
without this
debilitating
disease.
