I've been to some walkathon before, and it wasn't a very nice experience. The problem was we walked for more than 5 miles; but we didn't really know the purpose of our walk. They did say that it was a drive for some charitable institution; but eventually they couldn't spell out which one it was.
I thought back then that walks for charity were just gags designed to make people think that they were doing something for somebody; but all efforts given during the walk are just wasted. After that experience, I found hard to believe in walks anymore. Well, that was until I've heard of Alzheimer's Memory Walk. Now that is a walk that I can go an extra mile for. It supports those who are suffering from the disease known as Alzheimer's, and I'm happy to report that this one is legit. You don't have to exert much effort since it's only going to be a 2-3 mile walk; but with high spirits, this will be a walk to remember for everyone. So what are you waiting for? Join in the walk for Alzheimer's, and help those families affected by the disease.

Basta for a good cause sis nice na sya..nahan ko ana.. lami ang feeling nga naa purpose imong gnahimo. :]
What a great cause this is ~ the Alzheimer's Memory Walk! I'm a bit of an older "Posh Mom" - ha! One of my good friend's husband (who is 15 yrs. older than she is)suffers from Alzheimer's. I've seen first hand the heartache that she goes through as she slowly loses her husband. She did the walk last year and I might try to join her this year!
Sis Twinks - yeah sis it's nice to do campaign like this. In fact, I'm not eligible to accept this post from SS because only US bloggers allowed but I want to spread this.
Ollie- Thank you for the visit. I don't have experience or family suffers such illness but through my readings with all the stories I understand and I know how it feels when someone dear to you doesn't remember you. Go for it.
Nikolai - Thanks for the visit and comment.
Hi Joy.. thanks too for the visit and your supportive comment on my site.
Walking is fun if you know there's a real cause...
Cheers and happy blogging!
An excellent cause to do a walk.
I am actually doing a walk on Sunday and that's in aid of the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation which helps a lot of underprivelaged children worldwide.
I of course pick the shortest walk of the day which is 5KMS/3miles LOL.
Long or short walk at least you participated. You're still making a difference Ms Jackie
