| Please join Team RESDC at Walk4ALZ on Saturday, October 19. The following article is by our team captain, Laurie Pennington, RESDC Member.
I am honored to be once again asked to act as the team captain for Team RESDC for the 2019 Walk4ALZ in Balboa Park.  Today more than 84,000 San Diegans live with Alzheimer’s Disease, and another 200,000 care for them locally and I’m sure it’s touched your loved ones as well. It’s made its way into our family and in July, we lost David Martin, age 75. It is very emotional watching someone we love lose their memory and struggle with day to day simple tasks and conversations!
Last year, Walk4ALZ non-profit raised $650,000 and 100% of all funds raised stayed in San Diego. Yes, it stays in San Diego to help San Diego residents. Team RESDC raised over $1,200 in 2018 and we’re hoping to exceed that total and we hope to have team walkers too.  I’m very excited to once again have my now 11-year-old grandson, Franco, joining me on the walk and we hope that you’ll consider bringing your kids and/or grandkids to introduce them to the wonderful experience of walking for a cause to help others.
We hope that you’ll consider joining Team RESDC on Saturday, October 19th at 8 am in Balboa Park for the biggest and best Alzheimer’s walk ever. Simply visit the link provided below, and sign up to walk with us and raise donations. To register, simply visit the Team RESDC Walk4ALZ team page at: www.resdc.net/community-events to join my team. If you’re unable to participate, please consider making a $35 donation to our team fundraising campaign. Let’s make this year the last year anyone must go through Alzheimer’s with no hope of a cure! Help to stomp out Alzheimer’s. It starts with each one of us, helping – either by walking and raising monies, or just donating! Thank you!
