The Alzheimer's Association invites the community to join the Walk to End Alzheimer's this Saturday at the Pharr one complex, raising awareness and funds to fight the disease.
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

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.
Whether you’re walking to honor a loved one, raise awareness, or contribute to the cause, your participation is a step toward advancing Alzheimer’s research and care. The event is open to families, friends, caregivers, and anyone passionate about making a difference in the lives of those affected by Alzheimer’s.
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.
Take this opportunity to make a meaningful impact by joining the walk this weekend. Whether you’re walking, donating, or spreading the word, your efforts contribute to finding a cure and offering support to millions of families affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
