Blogging for Alzheimers
- 1 Comment
Blogging has become a powerful way to raise money for diseases and charities. Whenever I see a blog promoting something that I can contribute to I will do so gladly. This type of thing isn’t a usual topic on our blog, but I thought it was important.
The Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness, support and funds for Alzheimers. The event is held annually in hundreds of communities across the country. Since 1989, the Memory Walk has raised more than 225 million dollars for the cause!
I checked the location nearest me and they are doing a San Diego Memory Walk on October 27th. It’s a 3 mile walk and that particular one has raised over 18,000 dollars already!
To increase that total, they need more Team Captains. A Team Captain puts together a team of fund raisers, sets a goal, and gets to work trying to earn donations. I personally don’t have time to be a team captain, but I fully intend on making a donation. If anyone who reads this and decides to become a team captain, I will make sure you get a donation from me. I could just see going broke!
Check out where there is going to be a memory walk near you!

There is growing evidence that a long recognized age-related elevation in the 2 hour blood sugar level is the earliest clinical manifestation of Alzheimer’s disease, appearing many years prior to the dementia. This potentially implies a great opportunity for intervention in the basic disease process for many years beginning at the earliest stages. Any theorey of this disease process must consider the fact that the cell death and tissue atrophy involves the liver and the heart as well as th brain. http://www.saynotodementia.com
