NARFE September
There's still time to register for the national NARFE Walk to End Alzheimer's® team! This has been a year of change for all of us, but one thing that hasn't changed is our commitment to the fight against Alzheimer's and all other dementia. We're still working tirelessly every day and raising money for research, care and support. But your health and safety are always our first priority — that's why this year we won't be having large gatherings. Instead, we're inviting you to walk on your own, with people you know, always with appropriate social distancing. You can also participate online if that's what feels best and safest for you this year. Join the NARFE team today!
