Hi. We are going to ask to do something important and it will cost you some money. But it is important. We need you to help support the research and advocacy to find a cure for Alzheimers. 

There are many reasons to join a community with a single purpose. Our reasons are personal, and they involve a close relative and a close friend, both of whom spent their final days unaware of their surroundings and blind to those who loved them. They were gone long before they passed away. 

In our family, stories of Maggie Sheahan and Genevieve Hubner (Sue’s Mom) highlight the devastating effects of Alzheimer's on individuals and their families. It's a cruel disease that robs people of their memories, their independence, and eventually, their lives.

So we walk. For many on the team, this is walk number 3 or walk number 4. We walk to make a difference. We walk to recognize the significance of Alzheimer's and the importance of supporting initiatives like the Walk to End Alzheimer's. By joining together as a community, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by this disease and work towards finding better treatments and ultimately a cure.

Please join our team, donate what you can and JOIN US in Downtown Crystal Lake on October 6. The Walk is but 2 miles. If you can play golf, you walk 2miles!

Every contribution, whether big or small, brings us closer to a future where Alzheimer's is no longer a threat.

Thank you for your advocacy and for shining a light on this important cause.

Jim, Susan and Kimberly
