help

I got an email earlier this week about the Alzheimer's Memory Walk occurring sometime this fall. I wanted to say that this is a great cause that I will be supporting this fall. 

I personally have been touched by Alzheimer's. Several years ago my husband began working for an older couple who needed some outside chores completed like mowing the grass and tending to the pool. The husband used to do all the outside tasks but had become ill with Alzheimer's. He was in the initial stages of his sickness. He was beginning to forget where he was and had gotten lost a couple times. Throughout the years my husband helped them out, he became degeneratively worse. It was so sad that such a brilliant man became in such a frail state. He had a PhD in Mathematics and was a researcher all his life. 

They are in need of volunteers to walk in locally organized events in the fall. For me, I was able to put in my zip code and find an event that was close. The walk also needs captains to help organize the event so please volunteer if you have extra time.
