Alzheimer’s Memory Walk

I went to my sister’s house last Sunday. Usually when I go to her house my sister’s mother-in-law used to welcome me with a broad smile. She is a very kind and jovial person. But when I reached her home this Sunday there was a gloomy mood in the house. My sister told that her mother-in-law has got Alzheimer disease. I was shocked to hear that. I went near to console her but she didn’t recognize me. Then my sister told me that it’s a brain disease which takes away the memory from a person. I felt heart broken to hear that there is no complete cure for this disease. I searched the internet to find a solution and came across Alzheimer association. This association conducts Alzheimer's Memory Walk every year to create awareness about the disease and raises funds for research and support. They now need volunteers and team captain for 2-3 mile walk. I am going to participate in that walk. Lets us all participate in that and fight against this fatal disease.
