We had a team that participated again in the 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer\u2019s<\/strong> \u2013 Lansing, MI. We were raising funds and awareness for Alzheimer\u2019s care, support and research.<\/p>\n

NARFE Alzheimer\u2019s Research and Walk to End Alzheimer\u2019s are two separate fundraising initiatives, but any donations to either are counted toward NARFE\u2019s $16 million goal.<\/p>\n

NARFE Alzheimer\u2019s Research directs every penny towards research but has special record keeping requirements and collects money only from NARFE members.<\/p>\n

The following are pictures from the Lansing 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer\u2019s on October 19th
