The Alzheimer's Association invites the community to participate in the Schenectady Walk to End Alzheimer's on Saturday, October 3, at Mohawk Harbor, 200 Harborside Dr., Schenectady.
Check-in begins at 10:00 a.m. The opening ceremony starts at 11:00 a.m., followed immediately by the walk.
The Promise Garden ceremony honors those affected by Alzheimer's and other dementias. Participants carry flowers of different colors, with each color representing their personal connection to the disease.
With new treatments emerging in the fight against Alzheimer's and other dementias, the Walk to End Alzheimer's raises awareness and supports the Alzheimer's Association's care, support, and research efforts.
