NARFE October
If you haven't yet registered for the national NARFE Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's® team, it's not too late! There's still time to join fellow chapter members in the fight against Alzheimer's and all other dementia. Your participation will bolster our efforts to advance Alzheimer's care, support and research.
National NARFE Walk to End Alzheimer's teams have raised over $50,000 thus far, toward improving the lives of people living with Alzheimer's, their families and caregivers. But Alzheimer's isn't waiting. And neither are you. We need your help to raise even more funds to fight the disease that's taken too much from too many. Join the NARFE team today and join our fight!
