The Longest Day

Join the Alzheimer's Association and use your passion for hiking to help raise awareness and funds for the fight to end Alzheimer's disease and all other dementia. Our goal is to rally the hiking community, send them out on hikes in their purple attire and raise awareness while on the trails and on social media. Whether you're passionate about the fight to end Alzheimer's and dementia, love hiking, or both, we would love for you to join us! We are looking for hikers to register at alz.org/tldhiking Then rally a friend or two to hike with them while wearing your purple. Or perhaps you can do 6 hikes for the 6.7 million Americans living with the disease. Can you find 6 hikers to join you?

We are also looking for passionate volunteers to join our hiking affinity group subcommittee. To learn more, visit this website bit.ly/hike2endalz and staff representative from DC, MD, PA, and VA will get back to you.
