MOOSIC, Pa. — The Walk to End Alzheimer's at PNC Field is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Alzheimer's Association.

One of the walk's most cherished traditions is the flower garden. Everyone holds different colored flowers representing their connection to the disease. Whether you are currently caring for someone with it, lost someone to it, or are living with it, the flowers are meant to be a reminder for why the walk is important. And every year there is one white flower that represents the first survivor of Alzheimer's and advocates are hopeful that day is near. 

Next weekend is the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre chapter's Walk to End Alzheimer's. The event is on Saturday, October 19th, at 10 am.  Registration starts at 9 am.  The walk is at PNC Field in Moosic.  To register:
