Getting ready for the walk...

I just finished making this. I will be wearing it during the Alzheimer's Memory Walk in November, along with purple shoe laces, purple mardi gras beads, an Alzheimer's Association T shirt and a cap decorated with purple do dads (no pun intended).

I have listed those that I knew, or friend's loved ones, that once traveled the Alzheimer's journey...my dad, my Aunt Gini, Tom's Uncle Don, Renee's mom, Lori/Cindy's dad, and my college roommate's dad.

I've also listed those who continue to courageously live and do battle with Alzheimer's...my dad's friend, Janice's mom, Stan's mom, Emma's husband, and my neighbor's mom.

They, and their families, will all be in my thoughts and in my heart as we walk, as they are every day.
