Memory Walk

Memory Walk

Hi guys today I am here to talk to you about the Alzheimer's Association. This topic is very close to me, because my grandfather was a victim of Alzheimer's. He has recently just passed away, but the disease left him a shell of the man he used to be. A "good day" was one where he might smile when you came to visit...forget about him remembering or being able to say your name. While there are a ton of awful diseases that cause great physical pain, there is no disease that can match the amount of mental pain caused by Alzheimer's.

So what can you do about it? Well, for one you can join the annual Alzheimer's Memory Walk. Similar to the other popular charity walks such as the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Race for the Cure and the March of Dimes, the Memory walk is a nationwide annual event benefiting the sufferers of Alzheimer's and the efforts being made to find successful treatments and cures. Since 1989, the Memory Walk has raised over 225 million dollars!

So, the Memory Walk needs team captains! This Memory Walk is held nationwide in literally hundreds of cities across the United States, so without a doubt there is one being held within a few short minutes of your home (who knows maybe they even walk right by your house). It's still early, but it's never too early to sign up as a team captain and help the fight against Alzheimer's!
