This fall, The Alzheimer's Association will be hosting Memory Walks all over the country - in an effort to raise money to find a cure for Alzheimer's while raising awareness of this devasting disease. Currently over 5 million Americans have Alzheimer''s disease. Unless we find a way to change the course, 16 million Americans could have Alzheimer’s by 2050.
Austin will hold their Memory Walk on September 29, 2007 starting at Austin High School and walking Town Lake. After the walk, we will gather at Hula Hut to celebrate our efforts and just have a good time.
I am going to raise $1,000 for our team, in hopes that our team raises $5,000. We can do it. It seems big now but once you start brainstorming in your email list, talking to friends and collegues - it gets simpler by the day.
