If you have a family member or friend whose life has been stolen by Alzheimer’s disease, you know how devastating it can be. When I was fairly young, one of my great aunts was stricken with Alzheimer’s, and it was a disturbing experience to say the least.
The Alzheimer’s Association does a lot of good work in promoting and funding Alzheimer’s research and education. One of their important fundraising and awareness-raising events is the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk, which takes place in more than 600 communities. Typical Memory Walks occur on a weekend in the fall, and are around two to three miles long.
The Alzheimer’s Association is currently looking for team captains and event participants. Click the link above for more information, and get involved today!
