Walking

I really enjoy this city. It is so walkable. It is flat, until Pittsburgh, and has side walks everywhere, unlike Claremont's neighbor's. So yesterday I went for a walk/jog and this morning I calculated it. 3.9 miles. I am pretty happy with the walk. I saw some new parts of the city and a nice park and a thrift store and a nice grassy knoll. Today I am only a bit sore.
But most of all it is good practice for the Memory walk which I will be walking in.
As many of you know, my grandfather has Alzheimer's Disease and can hardly remember his own children. It is really sad and hard. And it, of course is not just my grandfather who has this, nor my family struggling with this disease; there are more than 5 million individuals currently living with the disease.

So, as the Memory Walk website encourages me to say: Alzheimer’s disease is the seventh-leading cause of death in the United States today. I’m moving to stop it – and I’m asking you to join me!

So, if you would be SO KIND as to help me out with a small (or large) donation I would really appreciate it!

I am walking with my job, US Dream Academy, and we are actually going to be walking with the students, mentors and parents! It's gonna be a whole fan-dangled event!

Search for me on this site and please if you feel so moved, donate. Thanks in advance.
