Alzheimer's, is a neurodegenerative disease that, in its most common form, is found in people over age 65. According to the Alzheimer's Association, there are now more than 5 million people in the United States living with Alzheimer's. That is an alarming and terrifying number.


To help with fundraising for research on this disease the association holds a Memory Walk each year. You have an opportunity to join the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care and research; sign up to be a team captain in your area.

Not that this should be the reason you create a team and walk, but if you are able to raise $500 for Memory Walk you will qualify to win a weekend getaway to Las Vegas.

So here is your calling. Mobilize your co-workers - or your entire company - to form a team and make a huge impact on helping people living with Alzheimer's. If you have a big family or a lot of friends, pull everyone together and participate in this event; it could be a memory you will have with you forever and it is for a good cause.

As team captain, you'll be recruiting co-captains and team members. A recommended team size is nine to 10 members. Think to yourself, do you have enough people in your life to ban together and captain a team? I sure hope you do.

In addition to the money you will raise, you can also be proud to know you have reached out to ensure that no one faces the Alzheimer's disease alone.
