Walk to End Alzheimer's Disease

Sandra Kay

The end of Alzheimer’s disease starts here.

As some of you may know, my wonderful husband was recently diagnosed with Corticol Basal Ganglia, a progressive, degenerative neurological disorder. It is a rare disorder that may, or may not, lead to Alzheimer's Disease.

I’m walking to help reclaim the future, not only for him, but for millions. By participating in the 2011 Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s™, I’m committed to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer research, care and support.

Currently, more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this disease.

I need your support to do my part! Please make a donation to help the Alzheimer's Association advance research into prevention, treatments and a cure for Alzheimer’s. For the millions already affected by the disease, the Association offers care, education, support and resources in communities nationwide.

Thank you for joining our movement! The end of Alzheimer’s disease starts here.

What a wonderful cause. It is a cause that is near and dear to me, as my best friend has lost all four of her grandparents to the disease. I wish you the best of luck with getting donations!

I found you through Book Blogs and signed up to follow you. When you have a chance- please stop by the blog for my middle grade novel that I am hoping to get published. http://thesecretdmsfilesoffairdaymorrow.blogspot.com/

Take care-
Jess- although I may show up as Fairday, the main character from my novel. I can't figure out why that happens sometimes and I can't fix it. :)
