Why We Walk: Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects more than 5 million people in the United States, and many of us have been touched in some way by this devastating disease.

At Novartis, everything we do is inspired by helping patients, customers and the community, and we are walking to reaffirm our commitment to the fight against AD. We are proud to be a Walk to End Alzheimer's^® National Team to help raise funds for the Alzheimer's Association so that they can provide valuable services including research, advocacy and essential support programs.

Last year, your efforts helped raise more than $45,000 for the Alzheimer's Association to put towards AD research, and this year we're aiming to reach even higher! Please join Team Novartis and help us help the Alzheimer's Association and its efforts to improve the lives of those affected by AD.
