My family will join me on Sunday, October 9th to participate in our 29th Western MD Walk to End Alzheimer's in Frederick, MD.  We continue to walk in memory of  Gene, beloved father and grandfather who lost his battle with Alzheimer's after 13 years. The Walk has become a very special part of my life as I continue to lead Team HOPE in raising awareness and funds in support of the Alzheimer's Association.  With the dollars we raise we help to provide care, support and services to families in our community, while advancing critical research toward methods of treatment and prevention.  We continue to walk to help others through their journey.  If you would like to sponsor me in the Walk, please visit my donation website page to make a tax-deductible contribution to the Alzheimer's Association, OR to join Team HOPE.  Please know that every dollar counts and that no amount is too small.  If you prefer, please make your check payable to the Alzheimer's Association and mail to my attention at 13001 Purdum Ct., Mt. Airy, MD 21771, OR Click on the MAIL-IN DONATION option next to DONATE and mail to the Towson, MD address for processing.
