There are a record number of San Diegans living with Alzheimer’s and related dementias. We see you. We hear you. And every October, we walk for you.

 

Walk4ALZ 2021 will be on Saturday, October 16th. It is completely free to register and is a family-friendly and dog-friendly event. It is the largest fundraiser for Alzheimer's San Diego, a local nonprofit organization. It is the only walk where every dollar stays in San Diego County to support people living with dementia, their caregivers, and research to find a cure.

 
For Remote Walkers:
While we won't be together in person, we'll be together in spirit! You can participate by taking a walk anywhere, anytime on the 16th. Send us any photos you'd like featured by replying to this email, or to walk4alz@alzsd.org.

Parking:
Parking is FREE. Use any of the available lots along Park Blvd. 

Health & Safety:
Our top priority is the health and safety of our walkers. The festival site will be set up to allow for social distancing, and masks are required unless you have a medical condition that prevents you from wearing one. There will be disposable masks available at the event, along with hand sanitizing stations, and contactless registration.
