According to Patrick Hall, “Persons in the area are invited to join the team or make a donation as part of the Walk, which is the Alzheimer’s Association’s largest event in the nation to raisefunds and awareness for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Since 1989 the walk has raised more than $300 million for the cause,” he added.
