World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is less than two months away. One of the many ways you can help build a national elder justice movement is by joining the 2nd annual virtual Walk for WEAAD.
You can now register for the Walk for WEAAD campaign, which begins May 1st (the first day of Older Americans Month) and runs through June 15th, WEAAD.
Sign up now online or through the Walker Tracker app, and get ready to walk, run, or do a variety of other activities accessible to people of different ages and abilities.
