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

    Karen, I made a small donation to your niece's team. Wish it could be more. I will be helping another team in our area as well. Such a worthy cause. I hope your niece does well with her team's fundraising.

    I had done the walk last year here in CA and I along with my friend raise major bank with garage sales and parties at restaurants...we worked hard and I think I was driven by the fact that it was right after my Dad passed away. Needed to feel like I was honoring him. This is year I was bummed as I could be about him. I wasnt going to do the walk but I think I need to kick myself out of my lump and walk. Maybe be on the news again like last year. I may not raise as much money but it something.
    Thanks for walking!!!!! Go Purple!!!!
