Hundreds of Thomasville residents will join the fight to end Alzheimer’s disease at the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s. This will be the first year for the Thomasville Walk to End Alzheimer’s since 2010.  

In 2018, the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Georgia raised $2.3 million contributing to more than $96 million raised nationwide for care, support and research efforts for those impacted by Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Participants will learn more about Alzheimer’s disease, advocacy opportunities, clinical studies enrollment and support programs and services. Walk participants also honor those affected by Alzheimer’s disease with the poignant Promise Garden ceremony.

The walk will be held Friday, October 4 at the Historic Courthouse in downtown Thomasville.

Registration begins at 5 p.m. that day, with the opening ceremony at 6 p.m. and the walk starting at 6:30 p.m.
