If you feel like sponsoring one walker is just not enough to support the cause you can always become a team captain, this can be done anywhere nationwide. To register as a captain is easy. All you need to do is recruit at least nine friends and family members, as soon as you can, to walk with you as a team, set your goals, get excited, spread your enthusiasm, and create a team logo with a fun t-shirt and banner to help spread the word. Once you have your team established you will register online where you are able to take advantage of the online fundraising tools. One requirement is for each member of your team to raise at least $200 and more if they are able. By asking one person each day that goal is very attainable. What better way to support something that could happen to anyone we love at anytime, including ourselves, then donating our time to help fund the research we may need later in our lives.

Alzheimer's Memory Walk
There are many important causes in the world in need of research and our support. Everyone has had an experience in their lifetime that gives them a want and a desire to support what is nearest and dearest to their hearts. I have worked in a dental office as a front desk coordinator for the past 7 years and since that time I have seen some of our patients decline in their health due to Alzheimer's. Vicky, one of the gals I work with, is seeing this disease first hand, her mother-in-law is currently dealing with Alzheimer's and is now residing in a nursing home. It is really hard to watch someone you don't know suffer from this disease, let alone watch someone you love suffer from this and there is almost nothing you can do to help stop the progression. Although I sometimes have to wonder if their is something we can do to help and I have found that one way is to help sponsor a friend whom may be a walker in an Alzheimer's Memory Walk. Going online I have found that there is a memory walk on October 27, 2007 in a near by town 25 miles away and I plan on supporting a local family who will be participating in that walk.
