On Saturday, October 19th, I will be participating in the 2024 Verde Valley WALK TO END ALZHEIMERS. This is my 3rd year walking to raise critical awareness and funds to advance Alzheimer's care, support and research. Nearly 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimers and over 11 million family and friends are providing their unpaid care. The Alzheimer's Association uses donated funds to offer a free 24/7 hotline and online resources to support those living with the disease and their caregivers. In addition, support groups connect those dealing with the disease with a network of help in their own community. Family and friends can tell you how valuable my local Cottonwood support group is for me.
We are at a pivotal moment. For the first time, there are treatments that can change the course of Alzheimer's . As the world's largest nonprofit funder of Alzheimer's and dementia research, the Alzheimer's Association invests your dollars in cutting-edge projects that hold the most potential to help people today and change the trajectory of this devastating disease. The work is far from done, but you can help us get there. Any size donation is greatly appreciated.
If you are able, would you consider making a donation? I am so grateful to our friends and family who supported me on the walk last year. It has been nearly 5 years since my husband, Lloyd, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. We would so love to see the end of Alzheimers! You can donate online, or , If you prefer to mail in a check, information to do so is available. If you have any problems, please contact me. I do have the form and address. Checks could also be mailed directly to me and made out to ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION. I can submit your check and form for you and send you a receipt. Thank you in advance for your time and generosity. Sincerely, MARGIE
