“Why Walk?”

Absorbing God’s Word

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:40

Applying God’s Word

For years, our entire family has supported the fight to find a cure for Alzheimer’s. My mother, my mother-in-law and my sister’s mother-in law all suffered with Alzheimer’s. I personally have been to a number of fund raisers and auctions for Alzheimer’s, but I have never participated in the annual Alzheimer’s walk.

My sister Patti, on the other hand, has walked for Alzheimer’s every October for the last ten years. She will walk again on October 7th to honor our mom, Doris, and all those suffering with Alzheimer’s. Last year, she raised $65,261, ranking her the 12th highest fundraiser in the nation. Her total for the past 10 years is $252,082! Patti still volunteers at the Alzheimer’s senior community where mom lived out her last days. To say that I’m proud of my sister would be an understatement. God is proud of her, too.

Here’s a touching 4 minute video titled WHY I WALK. It’s about our mom, Doris, and Patti’s mother-in-law, Fern.
