The Walk to End Alzheimer’s Will be This Weekend

The Walk to end Alzheimer's is coming to Smothers Park this Saturday morning at 9 a.m. Join the Alzheimer's Association and help raise money for the awareness of Alzheimer's.

Money raised by the Association will be used to provide programs and services to the over 75,000 Kentucky families living with Alzheimer's and to support research for a cure. Also, locally, the Alzheimer's Association has support groups and free training programs here in Owensboro and surrounding communities. Additionally, the association operates a 24-hour helpline that you can reach at ---> 1-800-272-3900.

At the event, each participant will be given a flower for our Promise Garden Ceremony. The color of each flower represents the following:

Blue - I have Alzheimer's

Purple - I lost someone to Alzheimer's

Orange - I am a supporter of the Alzheimer's Association

Yellow - I am a caregiver
