Alzheimer's Memory Walk

10-10-10 is the date!  Save it, circle it and walk with us at the Alzheimer's Memory Walk.  We will be walking at Alton Baker Park.  It's so much fun to get together as a community and commit to this worthwhile cause.  I think many times people don't think of Alzheimer's disease until personally affected.  It's not usually a young person's disease like some of the cancers so it doesn't get talked about much amongst friends and family until the day it becomes personal.   As the years go by and more and more of your friends and family are diagnosed you will understand the importance of education and support.  It is a disease that strips bit by bit of the whole person.   It is heartbreaking for loved ones to watch and the support of others is the one thing most needed.
