Phoenix, AZ, November 6, 2026 — Katherine Kitzenberg, an Arizona-based physician’s assistant, is continuing her commitment to supporting families affected by Alzheimer’s disease through participation in a local fundraising event. Kitzenberg recently completed the New York City Marathon, an endeavor undertaken to raise funds for Alzheimer’s families.
Following her participation in the marathon, Kitzenberg is now set to take part in the Phoenix Walk to End Alzheimer’s. This event is scheduled to occur on Saturday at Wesley Bolin Plaza, located in downtown Phoenix. The walk aims to bring the community together to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s research and support services.
The specific amount raised by Kitzenberg during the New York City Marathon was not provided. Details regarding the precise start time for Saturday’s Phoenix Walk to End Alzheimer’s were also not specified in the information provided. The event is expected to draw participants from across the Phoenix metropolitan area, all walking to support the cause.
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disorder that causes brain cells to degenerate and die, leading to a decline in memory and thinking skills. Organizations like the Alzheimer’s Association, which typically organizes Walk to End Alzheimer’s events, focus on providing care, support, and research toward a cure. Kitzenberg’s dual participation in a major marathon and a local community walk highlights a sustained effort to contribute to these critical initiatives.
Further information regarding registration for the Phoenix Walk to End Alzheimer’s or specific fundraising goals for the event was not detailed. The focus remains on Kitzenberg’s ongoing dedication to the cause, transitioning her efforts from a national event to a prominent local one.
