Since 1992, the Miles of Memories Walk has been a tradition on the Cape and Islands. Celebrating its 20^th anniversary, the Walk is one of the oldest continual pledge walks on the Cape and Islands and the only in the region to support Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia.

The Walk has grown since 1992. Now with over a thousand people participating each year. There are six different walk locations and has become a connecting point for making a difference in the lives of our neighbors, co-workers, friends, and family who have Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia.
