PORT ANGELES — The third annual North Olympic Peninsula Walk to End Alzheimer’s is Saturday.
It will start and end at the Port Angeles City Pier.
Registration will begin at 10 a.m., followed by an opening ceremony at 11 a.m. and the two-mile walk at 11:30 a.m.; the walk route is fully accessible.
The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is an international event to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer’s disease.
Last year, nearly 150 people participated in the North Olympic Peninsula walk. In the process, they raised more than $26,000.
Proceeds go toward Alzheimer’s research and to provide care and support services for local families impacted by the disease.
This family- and pet-friendly event is free to attend; however, participants who donate or raise $100 or more get a Walk to End Alzheimer’s T-shirt.
