Promise Garden Ceremony
The large pinwheel flowers that each participant receives are raised during the Promise Garden Ceremony that kicks off the Walk. The colors denote how Alzheimer's has affected their lives: blue-living with a diagnosis; yellow-providing care; orange-supporting the fight to end Alzheimer's; and purple- lost someone to the disease.
