RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Thousands of residents of the greater Richmond area are joining the fight to end Alzheimer’s disease at the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s during the morning on Saturday.
The walk is held in partnership between 8News and the Alzheimer’s Association, Greater Richmond Chapter. All funds raised through the 1-mile and 2-mile walk — held in the Libbie Mill Midtown area — supports the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association nonprofit.
