Everyone needs to register in advance, organizers said in a press release. There is no fee to register, but everyone is asked to make a donation and to seek support from other potential donors. 

Every registered participant who raises at least $100 will receive an official Walk to End Alzheimer’s T-shirt in the mail. 

The money raised by walk participants goes to the research efforts of the nonprofit Alzheimer’s Association.
