Alzheimer’s Disease also known as AD, is a common form of dementia or brain disorder that affect older people. AD can affect a person’s ability to manage his or her own daily activity.  Approximately 5 million of Americans are affected by AD.  I personally knew a friend whose grandfather had AD.  It was so sad to see a person so strong and dependent deteriorated into a person who needed personal care at home to help with his daily routine.  He was later moved to the nursing home before he passed on.

Memory Walk is the largest nationwide event to raise the awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research.  And since 1989, Memory Walk was able to raise more than $225 million.  There are walks available in more than 600 communities around America. Volunteers don’t need to walk far, a typical Memory Walk is on a weekend morning for 2-3 miles.
