Support me as I walk to end Alzheimer's Saturday!
Thank you for taking a moment to read this note.
Unfortunately, my godparents are among the 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. This disease strikes both husband and wife; if one has the disease, the other bears the brunt of it. In addition to the increased burden of care requirements, the healthy spouse faces the personality loss of their beloved lifelong companion. The usual sharing of observations, confidences and emotional support gets wrecked with Alzheimer's.
Doctors say among any group of 8 people, one will develop Alzheimer's in retirement. This is what has happened to my aunt and uncle. I am walking in support of them, and particularly my uncle, who is caring for my aunt. The Alzheimer's organization is racing to develop a treatment and/or cure, but it also needs funds to continue its efforts to provide emotional, mental and educational support to people like my uncle.
Alzheimers.org makes it pretty easy to donate via secure credit card. (and it's TAX DEDUCTIBLE!) If you want your amount to be anonymous, there's a box you can check (or uncheck) to make that happen.
My walk is Saturday, Sept. 26, so this ask is for THIS WEEK ONLY.
The walk is at 9 a.m., rain or shine, in Elizabethtown, Ky. This is one small thing to do - but with many people doing it, we can make a difference.
Thank you in advance for your time and generosity to help end Alzheimer's!
Special Thanks to:
