The New York City Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association is a founding member of the Alzheimer's Association which is the largest national voluntary health organization dedicated to advancing research for the causes, treatments, and prevention of Alzheimer's disease. As baby boomers enter the age of greatest risk, Alzheimer's disease is becoming the leading public health crisis of the 21st century.

The mission of the Alzheimer's Association, New York City Chapter is to create and promote comprehensive and humane care for persons with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, and to provide support for their families and professional caregivers. The Chapter meets this mission in the community through increasing public awareness, providing education, creating and encouraging replication of model programs, collaborating with research centers, and undertaking advocacy.

The New York City Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association was established in 1978 by a group of family caregivers.The chapter was formally incorporated and registered as a not-for-profit corporation in New York State in 1985.Our professional staff works with over 400 active volunteers to support, train and educate caregivers, patients and professionals.

For the past twenty years, the Alzheimer's Association New York

better Alzheimer support programs and treatments for those

affected by this fatal disease.

More than 5 million people are living with Alzheimer's - 200,000 living in the 5 boroughs of New York City - from every race, gender and culture. Every 71 seconds someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and is the biggest health threat for millions of baby boomers. Please help us help the community and contribute to our cause. Every contribution brings us one step closer to living in a world free of Alzheimer's.

Here at the New York City Chapter, we are busy planning a morning of fun, entertainment, exercise and remembrance for the families and friends in our New York community. We've set our Memory Walk 2008 goal high - $1.25 Million! We are on the way and will reach it with your support! Together we will MOVE a nation to end Alzheimer's.

Memory Walk 2008 is on Sunday, October 26th. This year we will be entering Riverside Park at West 83rd Street & Riverside Drive.

Once you register, you will receive your own webpage where you can send e-mails to ask family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, fellow students ...... to support you by joining your Memory Walk team or by making a donation.

Help us spread the word by displaying Memory Walk 2008 posters at stores where you do business, organizations and companies. We also have 2008 brochures with registration and contribution forms ready to send you - both in English & Spanish.

In an effort to encourage even more families to get involved in Memory Walk, Evercare and the NYC Chapter have teamed up to provide a rest area for persons with Alzheimer's disease and their families to gather and enjoy the event. Evercare Nurse Practitioners and Care Managers will be on-site at the Evercare Family Tent to watch over people with Alzheimer's, giving family members a chance to participate in Memory Walk knowing their relative is being supervised by professionals. The Evercare Family Tent is designed to have families sit, relax and receive a free health screening from Evercare clinical staff. Evercare Family Tent attendance is limited; reservations are required. Please RSVP by Sept. 28th–Call: 212-216-6986 or E-mail: cvillacis@uhc.com.

Bring your entire family, even the 4-legged walkers. They will receive a Memory Walk 2008 Doggie Bandana at the DOGGIE DUGOUT. Also, with lots of new addtions, our 2008 KIDZ KORNER will be bigger and better.

So join us and ask family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, classmates, neighborhood storeowners to support you as we walk with a purpose to MOVE a nation to end Alzheimer's. Walk with us for new treatments, better lives and a cure!
