I'm walking as part of a worldwide assault on Alzheimer's disease. Today, this vicious disease is ruining the lives of more than 5 million Americans. Without a breakthrough that number wil grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. Many of us will suffer this grim disease in the future unless a way can be found to stop its rampage.
My Mary was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in September 2001 and after a long decline passed away on March 6, 2010. I am walking to hasten global research to defeat this disease for my family, for your families, for all of our children and their children.
A cure, or a means of preventing Alzheimer's disease, must be found so that ONE DAY THERE WILL BE SURVIVORS. The alternative is unthinkable. Thanks for helping.
