Today an estimated 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. And with 78 million baby boomers approaching the age of greatest risk for this fatal disease, the need to find a cure is more urgent than ever.
This year, to support individuals and families living with the disease – as well as those who may be affected in the future – Jeff & I are participating in the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk® to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's disease.
With all of the major events that have happened over the last year in our lives we wanted to find a way to remember Jeff's Papa and keep his memory alive for all those who loved him. I unfortunately was not able to meet Papa before he passed away in May of 2006 but he lives through Nana and her wonderful family!
**If you live in the Atlanta area please consider joining us on October 18, 2008 for the Memory Walk in Chastain Park - please email me at ob.kathryn@gmail.com if your interested in the 3 mile walk, we would love to have you on our team!!**
We know we can make a difference with your support. Will you consider making a donation? It's easy to give online by following the link below.
Thank you in advance for your time and generosity – together, we can help to end Alzheimer's!
Team Papa
