For the 16th consecutive year, I am participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer's in memory of my great grandmother, Mary Craft & grandmothers, Beatrice Delk and Anna Nell Brown.

By participating, I'm committed to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer's research, care and support. This year I will go back home to Arkansas to participate in the walk with family and friends. My goal is to raise $4,000 before the Walk on November 9th.

I need your support to do my part! Please make a donation to help the Alzheimer's Association advance research into prevention, treatments and a cure for Alzheimer's. For the millions already affected by the disease, the Association offers care, education, support and resources in communities nationwide.

Some staggering facts and figures about Alzheimer's:

* 1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia * Over 6 million Americans have Alzheimer's * Alzheimer's is the 6th leading cause of death * Alzheimer's is the most costly disease in the U.S. * It is the only cause of death among the top 10 in America without a way to prevent it, cure it or even slow its progression * It kills more than Breast & Prostate Cancer combined *

Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this disease.

THANK YOU for joining our movement and supporting my efforts! The end of Alzheimer's disease starts here.
