It's a helpless feeling, watching someone you love battle Alzheimer's disease. So, I decided to take action. I am participating in a very special event called the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk.

I am walking for the more than 5 million Americans currently living with Alzheimer's disease. I am walking because I can, and because I should.

The Alzheimer's Association, the world leader in Alzheimer's research, care and support, is dedicated to finding prevention methods, treatments and an eventual cure for the disease.

I hope to be able to raise at least $200 to support the local Alzheimer's Association, which provides consultation, information and referral, and support programs to those affected by Alzheimer's.

To donate, send me your e-mail address and i'll add you to my list. Any amount you can give would be appreciated.

Thank you for your friendship and support.
