It is not often that you come across a chance to write a sponsored post that is truly touching and deep in your heart. However, I came across the opportunity to promote the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk which I think is an excellent campaign. My grandfather came down with Alzheimer’s several years ago and I can tell you from personal experience it is one of the hardest things to deal with for family members. Before my grandfather passed away from this terrible disease he would leave his house in the middle of the night and wander off and then someone would find him several miles away just walking around not knowing where or who he was. He was eventually put into a nursing home and was heavily medicated to help control the disease which didn’t really make things any better. Not too long ago, my wife’s grandmother was also diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and we are starting to see the same signs in her as we did with my grandfather. I can attest from personal experience that this is an awful disease to witness. That is why I feel so strongly about the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk. If you are interested in participating in this event, please see the information below for more details.
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 Alzheimer’s. There are walks in more than 600 communities. A typical Memory Walk is a 2-3 mile walk held on a weekend morning in the fall.
By teaming up with the Alzheimer’s Association, you can walk with a purpose – and move us closer to a world without Alzheimer’s. Together, we can MOVE a nation.
