This week I signed up to participate in the 2007 Memory Walk, benefiting the Alzheimer's Association. The Baltimore area's walk will take place at Towson University on Saturday, October 27th.
My employer, Genesis HealthCare, is a Platinum Sponsor of the event, with dozens of teams participating through our network of locations along the East Coast. Our Towson regional office is a major part of this effort. If you visit my page on the Memory Walk website, you can find more information about our team, which has already exceeded its stated goal... However, Alzheimer's is a dreaded disease that many of us at Genesis know all too well, and much more financial support is needed to fund research that we hope will find a cure.
I have just uploaded a PDF of my article on one of our "Homestead" units, which specialize in the care and treatment of Alzheimer's patients. I visited this facility last year and saw firsthand the challenges faced each day by residents, their families and the staff.
Please consider sponsoring my walk on Oct 27th to help.
