Walk to End Alzheimer’s
September 22, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Over 67,000 Oklahomans aged 65 and over are living with Alzheimer’s Disease. Add to that the approximately 135,000 caregivers and the number of those affected in the Sooner State alone are staggering.
The Alzheimer’s Association is working tirelessly to fund research for a cure and to provide services to those affected. Walks to End Alzheimer’s fundraisers are taking place across the country, including one in Enid scheduled for September 22nd. The event will kick off on the courthouse lawn at 5:30 PM where participants can gather information. A short, yet moving ceremony starts at 6:00 PM followed by the walk itself.
Participants will carry flowers to represent their tie to Alzheimer’s including being a caregiver, someone living with the disease or someone who has lost a loved one to the Alzheimer’s.
The Alzheimer’s Association is searching for more sponsors, walk participants and donors to help make this event a great success. The goal for this year’s Enid walk is $40,000.00. Everyone who raises at least $100.00 will receive a free t-shirt. Anyone can sign up or make a donation by going to EnidWalk.org.
