Living a Better Story: Pat's Story

After receiving my envelope containing $5.00, I decided to invest it in a Walk for Alzheimers on a team from Jackson Meadow.  That $5.00, along with the $15.00 from John and Bobbie and $10.00 from Harrell, increased to $140.00.  The original $5.00 inspired me to solicit for the Walk that I otherwise would not have done.  Several factors influenced my decision to do this:  several friends and some loved ones have been afflicted with Alzheimers; I'm impressed with the three point objective of the organization--education, support and research; lastly, our beloved administrator, recently deceased was on the Board and her goal for this year was to have a team of 5 walkers from the Meadow, raising $500.00; we had 14 walkers who raised $700.00 today, October 2 at Pringle. Park.  With one in eight persons over age 65 suffering from Alzheimers, I feel that maybe I did make a difference in someones' life by getting involved today.
