Yesterday was the 1 or 3 mile Walk To End Alzheimer's out at the community college. All along Mom has been determined to go as long as the weather was good even though neither she nor Dad has been doing much walking for exercise. They had a special surprise when a lot of the family showed up in support of Dad (and Grandpa!). I think our family had as many or more than the whole rest of the Shorewood team!
Tony's app showed 1.2 miles and that wasn't even from the very beginning!
Grandma took off like a bat out of H___ and Grandpa kept looking for Jane. But we caught up where the walk split off and the 3 milers went on.
It looks like a cloudy day in these pictures but it's a good thing it was because when the sun came out it really started to heat up.
There's hardly anyone that isn't affected by Alzheimer's. The four colors in the flower garden represent people that have the disease, caregivers of those with it, people who have lost loved ones to it and people that envision a world without Alzheimer's.
Maybe someday we should be so lucky!!
They told us about an app on your smart phones called Charity Miles. I just looked at it a little bit and it seems you can earn money for a cause courtesy of the sponsors just by choosing your charity and then get on the move. Check it out...it just might work!
