I am counting down the days to this week’s Alzheimer’s Walk on Sunday October 9. I will be joined by thousands of men, women, children, grandchildren, friends, husbands, wives and those afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease on this walk. Some will be walkers. The walkers usually attract their friends to join them. It is an occasion to get together for a tremendous cause. Others are professional runners who are determining how quickly they are able to complete the walk/run. I remember last year’s walk. There were kids in strollers. Some beyond the official stroller age, but parents aware these toddlers and young children might not be excited or able to complete a 5K walk. I passed adults in wheel chairs and children in strollers. Supporters were on the sidelines cheering us all on as we made this trek through the turns and street closures specifically for this walk. There was music and refreshments strategically located at various points of the walk. The crowd was excited. Celebrities joined the walk. Everyone was there for the cause — to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through research and support for caregivers. Have you made your donation or signed up to volunteer for this walk to end Alzheimer’s disease? Someone develops Alzheimer’s disease every 69 seconds. Caregivers need want and deserve your support for the Alzheimer’s Association. I will be looking for you on Sunday and want to hear all about your walking experience.
Remember, caregivers need care too. Send me an email about your experiences.
