Alzheimer - time to get up and walk

We hear on the news everyday about Alzheimer’s Disease. If this has never touched your life it may be hard for you to understand the devistation that this disease brings about.

Alzheimer takes the memory and the daily functionality out of your loved ones life. Watching a woman who could quote the Bible and play the piano from memory struggle to remember her daughter’s name is heart wrenching. My Grandmother suffered from Alzheimers the last years of her life. It would break my heart when she would tell me about her Granddaughter. She would tell me all about her. Not realizing that she was indeed talking to the granddaughter herself.

Research has come a great distance to find a cure. But has a long way yet to go. Money is needed to continue this. And this means fund raisers. The annual fund raiser is the Memory Walk. Find out where your local walk is and participate. It is a worthy cause. It is a national event and you can find local areas all over. Be sure to sign up early.

The Alzheimer’s Association is the sponser for the Memory Walk.

If you are looking for a place to volunteer or donate your time and money, this is a cause to look into.
