On Sunday, October 15th my family will join me in participating for our 30th year in the Western MD Walk to End Alzheimer's in Frederick, MD.  We continue to walk in memory of my late husband Gene, beloved father and grandfather who had Alzheimer's for 13 years. The Walk has become a very special part of my life as I continue to lead Team HOPE through this journey of raising awareness and funds for 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.
