Alzheimer’s Memory Walk needs volunteers
I’ve known some people who retired who had their financial house in order and great vacation plans … but what they didn’t plan for is the debilitating affects of Alzheimer’s disease.
I’ve seen my father reach a point where he thought it was thirty years in the past, and he didn’t recognize who he was talking to. I’ve seen another family member who can no longer drive and cannot remember something you told him five minutes ago.
A cure for Alzheimer’s is very important. The Alzheimer’s Memory Walk, organized by the Alzheimer’s Association, is the nation’s largest event for raising funds and awareness for curing this disease.
There are over 600 communities with walks planned. However, if there is no Alzheimer’s Memory Walk in your area, you can contact your local Alzheimer’s Association chapter to get info about walks in nearby communities, or starting up a walk in your area.
This is a volunteer effort to help achieve the Alzheimer’s Association vision of, “A world without Alzheimer’s disease.” Please consider helping in their valiant cause.
