The walk was FANTASTIC! It far exceeded my expectations of what I thought would take place. It started in a large field behind the M.S.U. auditorium, where there was a line of sponsor tables (free candy! free chips, apples, granola bars, and bottled water!), and then the registration area. For every $75.00 raised, there was a free t-shirt, so I got four free shirts! I met Alan Esper, the Development Officer for the Great Lakes Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, who was very gracious despite having so many people to meet and greet. And the weather was perfect.
And, after our very long afternoon and our miles of walking, I treated my family to the promised reward:
And finally, I’d just like to remind everyone again to please check the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk website for a walk in your area, and sign up to participate. It was a few hours out of our day, with some physical activity, for such a good cause. Everyone at the walk today was so positive, so friendly, and I could tell that everyone I met today involved with the Alzheimer’s Association was so grateful and appreciative of all of our fundraising efforts. I am so glad that I got involved with the Memory Walk. And I appreciate all of you, my readers, for your comments, support, and encouragement this week. I’m so glad my family could do this small thing to help fund such important research.
