The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is Saturday at Mauch Chunk Lake Park in Jim Thorpe. Registration is at 9 a.m. and the opening ceremony starts at 10 a.m.

Participants honor those affected by Alzheimer’s with the poignant Promise Garden ceremony - a mission-focused experience that signifies the solidarity in the fight against the disease. The colors of the Promise Garden flowers represent people’s connection to Alzheimer’s - their personal reasons to end the disease.

In Pennsylvania, there are more than 280,000 people living with the disease and 500,000 caregivers.
