What a wonderful thing to want to do for your community! Starting a local Alzheimer's walk is very doable, and the Alzheimer's Association makes it easier than you might think.
The best first step is to visit alz.org/walk and search by your zip code or state. From there, you can explore options for starting a walk in your area or connecting with your local Alzheimer's Association chapter for guidance. Here are some helpful tips to get started:
- Contact your local Alzheimer's Association chapter — they can help you set up a new walk location
- Recruit a small team — friends, family, or neighbors who care about the cause
- Create a team name that reflects your personal connection to Alzheimer's
- Set a fundraising goal — even a modest one to start, and grow from there
- Spread the word — share your story and reasons for walking to inspire others to donate
A myALZteam member shared that participating in a walk made them feel like they were "actually contributing to something" — and starting one in your own backyard could inspire your whole community. 💛
