Do you know someone that has had alzheimer's or has it now?  Do see how a cure for Alzheimer's could enhance the lives of everyone around the patient?  The Alzheimer's Memory Walk is a method to raise awareness of this horrifying disease and to help raise funds to assist in the financing of care, support and research to end this terrible tragedy.

The walks are held in 600 communities across the nation, they are on a weekend in the fall which means it's a beautiful time to get out with friends and family for a 2 to 3 mile walk while helping the Alzheimer's Association and enjoying the beauty of the fall.  All that you need to do is to put together a team of friends, family or co-workers and go for a walk! 

The Alzheimer's Association has set up a site for you to register your team and walk location, it can be used to help with the fundraising campaign too.  This is not difficult, it is fun, beneficial to all involved and may, ultimately, help in preventing you or your loved ones from getting Alzheimers!

Are you looking for an activity for your club?  Perhaps the Rotary or Lions Clubs would be interested in participating in the Memory Walk.  At your next meeting ask them, invite them to participate.  Their purpose it to serve mankind, well, this is certainly serving mankind in a positive manner, healthy for the members and beneficial to all concerned!

It is so easy, it is going to be fun and you will be glad you became a team captain for the walk, you can go to bed that night knowing that you did something to make a difference in someone's life…perhaps your own!
