This weekend, the Alzheimer’s Association is hosting its annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s, a nationwide event aimed at raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s disease, a brain disorder affecting millions of people across the United States. More than 6.5 million individuals aged 65 and older currently live with the disease, making this event critical in the fight against Alzheimer’s.
A Nationwide Movement for Change
The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is recognized as the world’s largest event dedicated to raising awareness and funding research to combat this debilitating condition. This year, more than 600 communities across the U.S. will be walking in support of the cause. Participants and supporters are coming together to contribute to the Alzheimer’s Association’s vision of creating a future where Alzheimer’s no longer exists.
“This is a family-oriented event,” said one organizer. “The walk is really in support of the Alzheimer’s Association. Our vision is to one day have a world where Alzheimer’s does not exist.”
Event Details and Participation
The Pharr community is encouraged to join the walk this Saturday, October 21st, at the Pharr one complex, located at 1121 E. Nolana Loop. Registration opens at 8 a.m., with the walk set to kick off at 9:30 a.m.

Supporting a World Without Alzheimer’s
The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is not just an event—it’s a movement driven by the hope for a world without Alzheimer’s. Through the funds raised, the Alzheimer’s Association supports essential research, public awareness campaigns, and care programs for those living with the disease.
