Hello everyone,
As most of you know I work with the elderly and those who have Alzheimer's disease as an art therapist. The interest in this started years ago when my grandmother was diagnosed and I started doing art with her. I've decided to support the Alz Assoc. this year by participating in their Memory Walk in DC and in turn am looking for support form all of you!
This is something very important to me and I'd be happy for help in any form. You can make a donation, walk with me, or think happy thoughts on the day of the walk! I'd appreciate whatever you can offer.
Here's the link to my donation page if feel you can give a donation as small as $25:http://alz.kintera.org/nationalwalk/emery
If you want to walk and/or join my group go here:http://alz.kintera.org/nationalwalk/artalz
Either page has a link to the other, so have fun looking around, reading my story, and hopefully joining my group and adding your own story!
Oct. 17th
National Mall, Washington, DC
Walker Check-In: 9:00 a.m.
Opening Ceremonies will begin at 10:00 a.m. with the Walk to immediately follow.
There's a 1 mile option and a 3 mile option (nothing too strenuous!)
Thank you for your support in advance! If you have friends or anyone you think would be interested in this I would appreciate it if you passed along the information.
E-mail me if you want to walk and we'll all meet up and have a fun morning together.
Hope to talk to or see you all soon!

Today an estimated 5.3 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. In addition, 78 million baby boomers are approaching the age of greatest risk for developing this fatal disease. Now is the time to ACT to end this epidemic!
