My mother, my mother-in-law and my sister\u2019s mother-in law all suffered with Alzheimer\u2019s. I personally have been to a number of fund raisers and auctions for Alzheimer\u2019s, but I have never participated in the annual Alzheimer\u2019s walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My sister Patti, on the other hand, has walked for Alzheimer\u2019s every October for the last ten years. She will walk again on October 7<sup>th<\/sup> to honor our mom, Doris, and all those suffering with Alzheimer\u2019s. Last year, she raised <strong>$65,261<\/strong>, ranking her the 12th highest fundraiser in the nation. Her total for the past 10 years is <strong>$252,082<\/strong>!&nbsp;Patti still volunteers at the Alzheimer\u2019s senior community where mom lived out her last days. To say that I\u2019m proud of my sister would be an understatement. God is proud of her, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s a touching 4 minute video titled <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/d0A5UECcsKo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>WHY I WALK.<\/strong><\/a> It\u2019s about our mom, Doris, and Patti\u2019s mother-in-law, Fern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Accounting of God\u2019s Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you considered a donation to Alzheimer\u2019s?
