I walk for my husband, Gary. But I also walk for my friend Lorey, and his wife who has to go on without him. And I walk for all the other family members who have to learn a whole new way to live without their loved ones. I walk for the caregivers who don't get a moment's rest - who put in the hours because they love this person whose brain is being emptied of memories. I promised Gary I would work to find a cure for this horrific disease, but I need your help. It takes lots of money to cure a disease. Every donation will help fund important research, and programs to assist those afflicted with Alzheimer's. Folks jokingly used to call it Old Timer's disease, but it is affecting people at a younger and younger age. Gary lived with it for 10 years before losing his battle at age 63. There is no cure, but scientists are making headway on developing a medicine that may help slow the progression of symptoms. There's still lots of work to do, but to be able to say 'making headway' is a huge step in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Thank you for whatever you can do; whether making a donation, registering your own team, walking with me on October 1st, or supporting me in spirit. Together we will #endalz!
