Alzheimer's Memory Walk

Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative disease that, in its most common form, is found in people over the age of 65. Approximately 24 million people worldwide have dementia of which the majority (60%) is due to Alzheimer’s. According to studies and research, every 72 seconds someone develops Alzheimer’s, and currently 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s. People with Alzheimer’s not only lose control of their memories behavior and personality, they also lose control of their lives in the long run. As of this present day, Alzheimer’s is the 7th leading cause of death in the United States of America. To help prevent Alzheimer’s, the Alzheimer’s Association was formed and started its own Memory Walk to help raise money. The Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research. But they can’t do it alone, and that’s why it calls on volunteers of all ages to become walkers and leaders to help fight Alzheimer’s. Currently, there are over 600 walks all across the United States of America. The usual memory walk is around two to three miles long held on a weekend morning in the fall. Now you may ask “What can I do to help?” Alzheimer’s Association needs Team Captains, and they need them immediately. To be honest, I myself feel awful for the poor people who get stuck with the awful disease, and I recently signed up for the Memory Walk. I, without a doubt, feel that I’m helping a great cause, because ever since 1989, Memory Walk has raised more than $225 million dollars destined to fund the research in fighting Alzheimer’s disease. Sign up to be a Team Captain today, it’s as easy as filling out a few required fields and reading directions. Sign up today!
