Alzheimer's Memory Walk

Please take the time to read this posting regarding the Alzheimer's Memory Walk. Teams are the heart of Memory Walk - people working together to support the millions affected by Alzheimer's. Team up to have fun, make new friends and support a great cause. I encourage you to take action to start a team in your area.

Facts about Alzheimer's:
Every 71 seconds, someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
As many as 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer's destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work, lifelong hobbies or social life.
Alzheimer’s gets worse over time, and it is fatal.
Today it is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States.

The Alzheimer's Memory Walk is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research – and it calls on volunteers of all ages to become champions in the fight against Alzheimer's. There are walks in more than 600 communities. A typical Memory Walk is a 2-3 mile walk held on a weekend morning in the fall.

By teaming up with the Alzheimer's Association, you can walk with a purpose – and move us closer to a world without Alzheimer's. Together, we can MOVE a nation.
