Participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s Event!

Many of us are touched by Alzheimer’s disease and many are caregivers for those who are affected. Alzheimer’s disease affects more than five million Americans and is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.

That’s why John Knox Village wants you to join our team as we support those affected and participate in this great Alzheimer’s Association sponsored event. The Village’s fundraising goal is $2,500.
