The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s will take place on Sept. 21 at Mauch Chunk Lake Park in Jim Thorpe.
Registration for the event begins at 9 a.m. and the walk starts at 10:30 a.m.
Participants will also honor those affected by Alzheimer’s disease with Promise Flowers during the Promise Garden Ceremony at 10 a.m.
