Woody’s grandmother suffers from Alzheimer’s. It’s so sad, because she’s such a kind and wonderful woman. I’ve adored her from the first time I met her. Even more heartbreaking to me is that she’ll never really know some of her great grandchildren. Memory Walk is something that I’ve been hearing about for years. It’s a great charity event that endeavors to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care and research. I’d like someday to participate in the walk, but for now I have to content myself with promoting the event and sponsoring a walker. It’s only a small contribution, I know… but it’s a contribution nonetheless. And every little bit will help, of course. Besides, it feels good to do something that will hopefully help someone who has to endure this heart breaking illness.
They still need team captains to sign up, so if it’s something that you’re interested in, you should definitely visit the site and sign up — especially if you’re a good motivator. It’s very easy to do, just make sure you sign up early enough to be able to get a team together. Put together a team of your friends, family members or colleagues. If you do sign up, let me know. I’ve made a small general donation already, but I would like very much to find a 2007 participant to sponsor as well. Alzheimer’s is, unfortunately, a medical concern that effect just about everyone eventually. Whether you’re the person who suffers the illness, or the family that suffers the heart ache.
