Walk for a Cause

When we found out that a very good friend of our family was diagnosed with Alzheimer disease we didn't know how to react.The knowledge that we have about this kind of disease is not that broad.We don't have any clue on what really causes it,if there's any known cure to this and how to avoid it.All we know is her memory loss becomes apparent.
In hopes to help her and the family,I started researching about it.I was able to find articles that somehow helped us understand this disease.These helped me realize what are the real causes,it's history,the prevention and the management as well and I personally think that it's not that easy at all.So,while I continue to search for more answers and facts about Alzheimer Disease,I came across with Alzheimer's Memory Walk.



I was amazed on this event's objectives.They are having a 2-3 mile walk on a weekend morning starting this fall in more than 600 communities..It's aim is to raise awareness and funds that would help for Alzheimer care, support and research.I also found out that they are looking for volunteers to be one of the team captains in which you dont have to run but your job will be motivating the walkers in oreder to raise more funds for a very good cause.
I already had decided to join this and if you feel the same way,you too can join us.You can start by visiting this Alzheimer's Memory Walk. Together,let's all walk for a cause.
Hope to see you there!!
