Last year, about $530,000 was raised through the walk.

To begin the walk, people participated in a Promise Garden ceremony, where people make a commitment to remember and honor their loved ones and fight Alzheimer’s disease. Each registered walker had a blue, purple, yellow or orange flower, which represents their connection to the disease.
