I'm walking to help reclaim the future for millions. By participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's(R), 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.

Over twelve years ago is when I became more aware of the disease called Alzheimer's. I had a customer who's husband had Alzheimer's. At first you wouldn't have known he even had it, but as time went on you could see more and more signs of this deadly disease. This couple really opened my eyes to this disease and how I could help others who's loved one was going through the same thing. I have an opportunity in my job to listen and be able to pass the story on to others to help them out. I have lost some great people to this disease (including my grandmother) and witnessed how hard it is for the families to see their loved ones go through this.

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.

I have seen more and more people and families affected by this disease and how hard it is for the caregivers to see their loved ones go through this. So please help out and lets try to find a cure for this deadly disease.

Thank you for joining the movement! The end of Alzheimer's disease starts with you.
