Today was our day of service throughout our stake and instead of doing a big project together, we were all asked to find our own service to provide in our communities. Our family helped out with the Alzheimer's walk to raise money for research and find a cure. We woke up bright and early and helped put up signs and banners before the walk started and then walked the 3 miles to help support the cause.
Alzheimer’s is the only cause of death among the top 10 in America without a way to prevent, cure, or even slow its progression.
Deaths from Alzheimer’s increased 66 percent between 2000 and 2008, while deaths from other major diseases, including the number one cause of death (heart disease), decreased.

What a great idea! I like that you thought of this on your own.
