Alzheimer’s is probably in everyone’s list of most feared diseases.  I have seen first hand how it cripples not only the mind, but the whole being of a person.  Hubby’s late maternal grandma had it.  And it’s hearbreaking to see her, one who was full of life and gifted with a truly beautiful mind fight the battle against Alzheimer’s.

I hope that a cure is found in my lifetime.  And I’m sure many other share the same hope with me.  While we’re hoping, we might as well do something worthwhile and join the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk, the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research.

The Alzheimer’s Association is in need of volunteers of all ages who want to fight against and see the end of Alzheimer’s.  The event will take place one weekend morning this fall and with over 600 communities participating in the event, you are sure to find a community close to you.

Walk with your friends or perhaps join another group and make new friends!  Walking with and for a purpose is well worth it!
