Columbia, SC (WOLO) — Lace up your shoes! You have the chance to join the 2020 Walk to End Alzheimer’s Saturday.
The Alzheimer’s Association says the opening ceremony for the event kicks off at 9 in the morning on their website. While the walk itself will begin starts at 9:30 a.m.
This year the event will be held a bit differently because of the COVID-19 pandemic. To adhere to regulations calling for smaller group gatherings, you can join the fight online. The organization says they are asking those who would like to participate to hit sidewalks, tracks, and trails throughout the Midlands by either by yourself, with your family, or with a small team in support of the walk. The organization says each year this event is held in more than 600 communities across the country to raise money to support the care, support, and research programs for the Alzheimer’s Association.
