Alzheimer's Memory Walk

Alzheimer's is a fatal brain disease. Destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work, lifelong hobbies or social life. Today it is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States. Some change in memory is normal as we grow older, but the warning signs of Alzheimer's disease are more than simple lapses in memory. People with Alzheimer's experience difficulties communicating, learning, thinking and reasoning problems severe enough to have an impact on an individuals work, social activities and family life. Alzheimer's disease has no current cure, but treatments for symptoms combined with the right services and support, can make life better for the person who has Alzheimer's. I have a terrible experience of my grandmother who has Alzheimer disease, I remember one day when I visit her, I said, "Hi Grandma" she looked at me, and she didn't know who I was. She didn't know me." It's sad but the most important thing is we support and understand her. Getting involve with Alzheimer's Association or Charity helps to fight against Alzheimer's disease and their programs. Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk is the USA largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research. There are walks in more than 600 communities nationwide. They held a typical Memory Walk of about 2 to 3 mile walk every morning of the weekend in the fall. By teaming up with the Alzheimer's Memory Walk, you can walk with a purpose, and move us closer to world without that disease.
