Saturday, November 5th, the Mayo Clinic Arizona HABIT team, joined by other employees of Mayo Clinic Arizona, family members, and friends, will walk in the annual Walk to End Alzheimer's Disease for the Alzheimer's Association. We've set a goal to raise $3000 for the Alzheimer's Association in support of their vision, "A World Without Alzheimer's Disease". Funds raised contribute to care and support services for those living with Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive impairments, which includes Mild Cognitive Impairment; research on prevention, treatment, and ultimately a cure for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias; and advocacy of Alzheimer's disease research initiatives at the State and Federal level.

The Arizona team including @AndreaCuc, @Jeannee, @Paulinehlucas, and @mariacaselli would like to invite anyone who is here in the Phoenix area to join our team! Come walk with us (or provide moral support if that isn't physically possible!). And if you are not local, we'd love to see a donation in support of our team to help us reach our fundraising goal! Donations of any amount are welcome. [In the interest of full disclosure, I wish to be transparent that I am a member of the Community Board for the Desert Southwest Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association]

Schedule of Events:
Check in and walk route opens at 7:30am, our Opening Ceremony on the Main Stage starting around 8:50am, start walking at 9:15am, Closing Ceremony at Second Stage by Finish Line at 11am

Route Length: 1 and 2.5 mile optional WALK Routes ( street closures for all routes and smooth surfaces for baby strollers, walkers and wheelchairs

THIS LINK will take you to our Team page where you can join or donate (or both!)

Our team is excited for this year's walk, which is the first in person walk since 2019 due to COVID! We hope to see you there.
