Alzheimer’s Disease is something that hits close to home for me and my family. I had a grandparent that suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease (and one that developed dementia prior to her passing). So, what better way to participate in the fight against Alzheimer’s than to organize a team, raise money for charity, and get some exercise in the process?

The Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research. Held annually in hundreds of communities across the country, this inspiring event calls on volunteers of all ages to become champions in the fight against Alzheimer’s. Since 1989, Memory Walk has raised more than $225 million. Team captains are needed NOW! Team Captains need to sign up early to ensure they have enough time to recruit a team and raise funds for the cause! I signed up to be a Team Captain this morning.
In order to join or start a team, simply locate a walk in your area. Then, begin recruiting family, friends, and colleagues to join your team…and ask for donations. Our team name is “In Memory Of…”, and our fundraising goal is $1,000. If you do not have time to participate in the walk but want to help a worthy cause, please consider donating to our team.
Donate to my team IN MEMORY OF… and support the fight against Alzheimer’s Disease.
If you are a blogger and you donate to our team, I will provide you a link with the anchor text of your choice in my recap of the Memory Walk…regardless of your donated amount. However, a $20 offering would be appreciated. After you donate, please send me an email confirming your donation to derrich [at] derrichdotcom. Blogger or not, I will definitely list your name as a donor…unless, of course, you wish to remain anonymous. The Memory Walk in San Antonio takes place Saturday, October 20, 2007. Thank you in advance!

My grandfather suffered from Alzheimers disease. It sucks. Hopefully someday there will be a cure, or atleast treatments. Good luck in the Memory Walk.

Thanks for the support, guys. Pass the word along if you can. Since I’ve announced it, we’ve raised $50…from one donation. Our goal is $1,000 as a team.
