I walk in the Shoals Walk to end Alzheimer’s. My heart holds treasured memories of my mom who lived with this disease for many years. I have said goodbye way too early to friends I have met volunteering. I walk for them. I walk for the ones I know living with the disease. I walk with the knowledge that someone is diagnosed with this terminal disease every 65 seconds. I walk with hope for a cure since I could one day face their situation.
If you are reading this and feel inspired, form a team where you live and help us fund research to find a cure! It looks different this year since we can’t all gather to walk in one large group. We will be walking though.
If you would like to donate, you can go to act.alz.org and donate to my team Linda’s Memory Keepers or find another team to donate to. This can be any amount. Last year I reached champion status. Help me become a grand champion this year!
I do blog; however, I have chosen not to use facebook, instagram, twitter, tiktok, etc. I am not a fossil (yes, some of you were thinking that) nor would you want to see me dance! I just prefer speaking face to face, through text or by phone. This is a disadvantage when raising funds but one I accept.
If you are on social media, help us get the message out about our walk!
My Walking Buddy and I say THANK YOU!
