Hi Everyone!
I am walking in honor of my Grandpa. He lost his fight with ALZ on January 13, 2017. This is my 9th year walking. ALZ is a very sad disease. It made him really sick, live in a nursing home, he couldn't walk and he forget stuff. Now that he is gone, I know that he is watching from Heaven and knows how much I LOVE him! I will NEVER stop fighting for a cure in his memory. When I was little he always helped me - now it's my turn to help him! Did you know that there is NO CURE FOR ALZ? That's crazy. I hope researchers can find a cure and FAST! Even though it's too late for my Grandpa, I hope the money that I raise in his honor helps find a cure to help other people (and all the Grandpas out there). I hope that you will support me when I walk. :)

No one should have to have ALZ.
PLEASE go hug a loved one and tell them how much you care about them, while they still remember you! :)
Now here's the e-mail that I am supposed to send you so you can read all about my walk and Alzheimer's ........
I'm walking to help reclaim the future for millions. By participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's®, I'm committed to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s research, care and support.
Currently, more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this disease.
I need your support to do my part! Please make a donation to help the Alzheimer's Association advance research into methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure for Alzheimer's. For the millions already affected by the disease, the Association offers care, education, support and resources in communities nationwide.
Thank you for joining the movement! The end of Alzheimer's disease starts with you.
