Alzheimer's Memory Walk

[Kari]

Hi All,

This is just a plug for the Alzheimer's Memory Walk that Drew and I do each year. Drew and I have loved ones who have been affected by Alzheimer's Disease. Because we have seen the devastating effects of this disease firsthand we like to do our part by participating in the Alzheimer's Association's Memory Walk each year. We will be walking in memory of my grandmother Frances Sniffen as well as Drew's grandmother Jan Miles who is currently suffering from Alzheimer's. I know that Alzheimer's has probably affected many of your families, and you can relate to the pain and frustration! Proceeds from the Memory Walk go directly to fund local programs and services designed to improve the lives of those affected by Alzheimer's. Any donations are appreciated, but please don't feel obligated.

That is awesome Kari. I lost my Dad to that #!@*!! disease last summer, I miss him so much. He battled it for 10 years, it is a really horrible disease that eats away at them bit by bit til there is not much left of the loved one you knew. I hope they find a cure or at least better medications soon.
