My Grandmother has Alzheimers. For those who have not had to go through seeing a family member fade, consider yourself blessed. As the only grandchild and her beloved "Love Bug," for her to not recognize me is short of heartbreaking.
But I am never one to sit around and do nothing. So, this year will be my first year to participate in the Alzheimer Associations' Memory Walk! Yes, I'll be walking in the Texas heat, 3 miles, for my grandmother. In my mind, I feel like it might not be enough, but that's ok.
So Please, go to my website and help support our cause. http://memorywalk.kintera.org/austin10/forfuturememories
My team's name is Millie's Memories. Although my Grandmother never goes by her first name, I felt like it represented all of those Grandmothers out there. I'm looking for team mates who have the same passion to help save their Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Brothers, etc's memories not just for themselves, but for the future generations. So if you have nothing else to do on October 16th, COME OUT AND WALK WITH US!

Be on the look out for more information regarding this cause.
