In fact, every year they had the Memory Walk and for a few years I was on the board and even selected as the Chairperson for the event. There was really a lot to putting on such a great event and being a "behind the scenes" person I really got to see all that took place! From the donations to the fundraisers and really trying to make enough at our walk to help the worthy cause.
Now the Alzheimer's Association is at it again with their annual Memory Walk.
I think everyone should be passionate about something and as I was working with older people and even people as young as fifty five years old ... I saw something so devastating and knew that I wanted to make a difference.
When the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk came along I knew I wanted and needed to be a part of raising money to find a cure.
It appears that they haven't announced dates for our local walk but I think this year I'd really like to be a part of it and even raise money and walk! Plus, I think it's good for Graem to see at a young age what it's like to help organizations raise money and to help others.
The walk is nationalwide and anyone can sign up! Just make sure to sign up early. Take it from me...it makes everyone's job who is organizing the event a lot easier if they have an idea of who is going to show up!
If you've got the walking fever -- feel free to sign up as a Team Captain too!
