Memory Walk 2007
8/18/2007 - It's about that time of the year again! We will be walking in our third Memory Walk in November to support the Alzheimer's Association, the group that supports patients and family members with all types of dementia. This includes everything from research for a cure to support groups, such as the one we attended during and after Bob's illness.
We will be once again be walking in memory of our husband/stepdad, Bob Sykes Jr. If you are able to make a donation (nothing is too small), please head out to our team page https://www.kintera.org/faf/search/searchTeamPart.asp?ievent=228837&lis=0&kntae228837=E78D280305014B91B637CF70CBFF2FC5&supId=0&team=1920113&cj=Y.
