Golden Isles Alzheimer's Walk

---

On Saturday, November 7, 2026, our community will gather once again at beautiful Neptune Park on St. Simons Island for the Golden Isles Alzheimer’s Walk — a powerful morning of remembrance, hope, and action.  

This inspiring, family-friendly event brings together neighbors, businesses, caregivers, and friends from across Glynn County and the surrounding Golden Isles to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.  

💜 Why We Walk  

Every step taken on Walk day represents someone we love.  

We walk for the spouse who faithfully holds a hand through every stage.  

We walk for the adult child navigating hard decisions.  

We walk for the neighbor, the teacher, the veteran, the friend whose memories are slowly fading — but whose life and legacy still matter deeply.  

Funds raised from the Golden Isles Alzheimer’s Walk directly support:  

Local families through programs provided by Memory Matters, a local independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit offering education, counseling, support groups, social engagement activities, and resources — all free of charge.  

Research efforts at the Goizueta Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at Emory University, one of the nation’s leading centers working toward better treatments and ultimately, a cure.  

Together, we are making a meaningful impact — both here at home and beyond.
