Living an interesting life: the travels and musings
of motorcycling author Linda R. Moore

Imagine not being able to imagine. To remember. To recognize a familiar face. This is Alzheimer’s, and I’m honored to once again be doing a sponsorship post for the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk.

I’ve known several people who have lost their loved ones to this event. My uncle died of Alzheimer’s last year. It’s a terrible disease that causes pain to the victims and those around the victims.

Right now, team captains are needed for this fund-raising event, the largest one of its kind in the nation. This Fall, over 600 communities will organize walks of 2-3 miles to raise money for research about the disease and care of its victims. If there is one near you, or even if there isn’t (my closest one is in Chico, about a hundred miles away), you can get together a team and start fund-raising to take part.

Oh, and there are virtual teams this year as well–so if you can’t walk, then you can fund-raise virtually.

If you go to the link above, the site gives you ideas on how to get sponsorships and how to put together a team. Pick a walk, then recruit two friends. Add three more people, and that’s a team. You get your own fund-raising page where you can set your goals. And then you train…and walk.
