Are You On the Move?
>> Monday, July 21, 2008
My family has been very blessed. We have not had to watch a loved one fight the terrible disease that is Alzheimer’s. The closest I have come to this disease is watching an amazing man succumb from afar. That man was Ronald Reagan.
To see such a man, such a great leader, slowly wither was heart wrenching. His passing, after so many years of suffering, was almost like a hiccup on a sob at the end of an amazing life.
As our population lives longer Alzheimer’s diagnoses are increasing. To help find a cure won’t you join, volunteer with or make a donation to the Alzheimer's Memory Walk?
If you’ve never experienced a large fundraiser you have no idea how amazing you can feel by selflessly helping others. It’s truly amazing. Contact your local chapter today and join the Memory Walk.
Alzheimer’s is the 6th leading cause of death in the US. Every 71 seconds someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Those are huge numbers; all it takes is for one person you know to be diagnosed. The possibility isn’t all that remote. Join the Alzheimer's Memory Walk. Get on the move.
