NARFE February
We're grateful for all NARFE Walk to End Alzheimer's® Team members who plan to walk and raise funds again this year. Your dedication helps the Alzheimer's Association® advance vital research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure. We couldn't do this important work without you — thank you!
Exciting news — we're moving forward with plans to host Walk in person this fall!* From the opening ceremony to the finish line, we hope to see you in purple and feel the energy you bring to Walk. Register for the NARFE team today and join the fight to end Alzheimer's.
*The health and safety of participants, volunteers and staff remain our top priorities as we continue to monitor the pandemic and make decisions about event details in your community. While we're planning to gather in person, we will continue to offer options to participate in Walk online and in your neighborhood.
