This event's purpose is to raise money for the Alzheimer's Association. This will be the 12th year we have brought together the community to raise awareness and money for this devastating disease.
This event started in 2013 with 121 participants and raised $2400. Since then, over the past 11 years, we have raised a total of $88,000 to help fund research to find a cure. Please consider joining us this year to get active and help battle this disease.
For all runners and walkers but more importantly anyone that has been effected by Alzheimer's.
