Memory Walk 2009

In honor of my mother I have signed up to walk in the 2009 OC Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk! The walk will be taking place Saturday, October 17 at CSU, Fullerton. While it isnt a long walk (only 3 miles) it will be a hard walk for me! Many of you know that my mom is in the late to terminal stages of this aweful disease. I am walking for her and the thousands of others out there with this disease. I am also walking to raise funds and awareness of the disease.

The Alzheimer's Association 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 this fatal disease. Since 1989, Memory Walk has raised more than $260 million for the cause. Memory Walk is a community event that joins friends, family and co-workers as they walk to end Alzheimer’s. Participants typically register in teams of 10-12 and fundraise using tools supported by the Alzheimer’s Association. Walks vary from one to three miles and are held in nearly 600 locations nationwide. Please join us in taking steps to end Alzheimer's. I have set up a donation page and have pledged to raise $1200 for this cause! Will you help me out??? Go to : http://memorywalk.kintera.org/csuf/inmomsmemory to make a donation for my team!!! Thanks!
