Walk for a cause

Alzheimer's disease is a quite known disease that normally affects people who are over 65 years old. Eventhough a lot of people are affected, some are still unaware of the symptoms, prevention and how to manage this disease. There are several government and private agencies that focus on educating the population about Alzheimer's disease.



Take the Alzheimer's Association as an example. It is one of the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. Currently, they have organized an event called Alzheimer's Memory Walk. The event is the largest in US which raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer patient's care and support as well as for research. They are looking for volunteers of all ages to become champions in the fight for Alzheimer. Normally done during weekends, the Memory Walk is a 2-3 mile walk held in the morning in the fall season.

So let me invite you to join with Alzheimer's Association event. Walk for a cause and let this be the start of the future without Alzheimer's.
