Memory Walk

It was a bit strange, my mother lost money and all of sudden she was accusing my sister of taking it. It was a bit unusual, whenever we take something from anyone in the family we simply tell the latter afterwards. We just care for everyone so much that if you run short of money anyone will always be happy to help, there's no need to take someone else money.

And then after sometime, my mother found it very hard to remember things. She was usually in charge of giving my Dad his meds but there were several occasions in which my father protested because my Mom seemed to be administering the medecines twice.

We started to be alarmed so we consulted a doctor. She was asked to answer some basic information like who is the current president, how old are you, what is the current year, where are you at the moment, and then she was also asked to do some simple mathematical additions.

To our surprise the information that she gave were mostly incorrect or pertaining to events or things which are about 10 years behind.

It was only then tht we realise that my Mom is now begining to show symptomps of Alzheimer/

We were told that at present there is no availabe drug yet to cure this disease but the progress of it can be slowed down by keeping our mother mentally busy and by taking some vitamins.

Right now we were told that there current researches being done to find cure for this ailment and I believe it is the duty of us, younger people to contribute in whatever way we can in order to fight against Alzheimer.

Joining Alzheimer's Memory Walk is just one of the many ways in helping. Why not start a Memory Walk team and join others in walking to end Alzheimer.
