Family & Friends, As I continue with my participation in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s, the goal and objective is simply to do my part in raising crucial awareness and monetary support that is directed towards the critical research to advance the fight against this awful disease. Not only did I have to see my mother steadily diminish in both mind and body over the course of 10 years; I, myself, have two copies of the e4 variant in the APOE gene (from mom & dad), which is the most common genetic factor associated with the late onset of Alzheimer's. Having completed a ton of reading and self-study on the subject, I continue to do everything in my power to stay on top of my own personal health yet nothing is certain except my ability to stay actively involved with the Alzheimer's organization.
Thank you in advance for your support either as a member of my walk team in Rehoboth Beach, DE (at the Bandstand) on Saturday, September 23rd (8am registration; 9am opening ceremony), or for your donation to fight the fight.
Thank you! Michelle
