wtea t-1

WTEA T-1


this is a picture
of my mother nell
could something have be done
to prevent her from getting this
devastating disease alzheimers disease
maybe
but a lot of research is being done to find
something that can be possibly used in
her grandkids and
her great grandkids and
her great great grandkids
that may prevent them from getting the disease or can be used
if they get the disease

right now there is no treatment or cure

i will be thinking of her, my dad charles and my very close relative
joe tomorrow when we do our walk to end azheimers in austin
all three had or have this terrible disease
i also probably have it

its research funded by the federal government (you and i) and
donations from you and i that will find an answer to this disease

the walk funds are also used to support the local chapters
they work locally to educate people and help those caregivers
who provide most of the care for the patients with alzheimers

to donate (this is probably the last chance for this years walk) and
or join the team organicgreendoctor.com click here

directions to the walk are off mopac take spicewood exit go
one block on spicewood and take a left on wood hollow then
take the first left on executive center drive
the address is 3429 executive center drive or

here is the map

if you are a team member listed on the team on this site
you may pick up a tshirt when you register or check in
if you have not joined the team you can still walk
there is no fee
register at the sign in desk
look for us we should all be together in the front/back of the building

i would especially like to thank darlene guynes for helping with
the team

she will be walking to end alzheimers in memory of her mom joann

i also wish to thank her for her efforts in the cedar park clinics of
austin regional clinic to raise donations and awareness especially
on end alz day in september
thanks again

thanks again to everyone for all the support financially and the
support you have given us via facebook, twitter, even google +,
this blog, email, phone calls
and personal conversations

we will always remember you
