Alzheimer's Walk

The walk will begin at 1 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 12, at Riverside Park in Portage. Participants will walk the Wisconsin River Levee in honor, memory or gratitude of someone affected by the disease. They can form a team to raise money for the Alliance, or do it as a personal endeavor.

Donations are encouraged, but not required to participate. People who contribute $50 will receive an event T-shirt and at $130 will get a T-shirt and a metal travel mug. Trophies are awarded to the largest team and also the team and individuals who raise the most money for the walk. Anyone who contributes $10 or more can have a name added to the 2010 Forget-Me-Not commemorative painting by local artist Janet Wiegel. The names will be read aloud during the ceremony.
