Did you know that every 70 seconds someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in the United States?

Did you know that over 5 million Americans are currently living with the disease?

Did you know that Alzheimer’s is the biggest public health threat facing our nation?

Did you that 10 million baby boomers will develop the disease in their lifetime?

Did you know that you can help? 

The Portland Memory Walk is one month away, on Sunday, September 28th.  Click here to join Team Dyer and walk with me or contribute to the cause.  Your contribution goes to vital research, caregiver support and education. 

I’ve walked in a number of other charity walks over the years.  There is one major difference when you participate in a Memory Walk.  In Memory Walk, no one wears a tee-shirt reading “Alzheimer’s survivor”-because no one survives this disease.

Let’s work together to change that and create a new generation of Alzheimer’s survivors!
