Philadelphia Area Alzheimer's Walk. on November 9, 2014. Would You Like to Pledge?

The Philadelphia 2014 Walk to End Alzheimer's takes place on November 9, 2014, in South Philadelphia. If you would like to pledge, please contact the office at 484-451-6612.

For those willing to pledge $100. or above, I, Bob Gasparro, take you there live. You will receive an internet address so you can watch a live broadcast on YouTube, and feel as though you are in the middle of the march. I did this last year and you should know that the reception quality is not guaranteed throughout the walk, but it certainly was fun. Also, the broadcast will extend from the beginning of the walk to either the end of the walk, or the end of the battery. No refunds, but the money goes for a great cause.

There are some promising research studies that may prevent, end, or mitigate the effects of this disease. Treatment regimens learned from recent researched has already helped to make life more comfortable for those afflicted. When one considers that over 40%  of those past the age of 85 are afflicted with the disease, you can appreciate how important the work done by the Alzheimer's Association is.
