There are 5.4 million people who have Alzheimer's. It cost 183 billion dollars in annual costs. Alz's is the 6th leading cause of death.
To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.
WE LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US
1 John 4: 9-10

Mom and Dad Happy Times.

Alzheimer's Walk

The Alzhiemer's walk is not till Sept. but we are starting early this year trying to reach our Team Goal of $1000. My starting goal is $100. With the help from my wonderful family and friends last year I raised over $300 . Thank you all again. If you can't donate find a walk near you. It is fun and lots of  stuff to do. Food, Door Prizes. Music and more. Can't beat that. http://act.alz.org/site/TR/Walk/OK-OklahomaandArkansas?px=6221126&pg=personal&fr_id=1573

    I am trying to raise money also but for the American Cancer relay walk in May. If you donate as little as $10 you can get a chance to win an afghan that I made to raffle off.
    You can check my blog if you are interested. Look at the top left side of the side bar for details.

    Good luck on meeting your goal!!
    My mom told me that she is starting to have memory loss and is going to have some tests given to her. She is 80 and has always had a fear of getting Alzheimer's. Please pray that she is worrying for nothing. I don't live near her and we are not close so I really don't know how much is just her fear or real cause for concern.
