Go Purple

5 years ago if someone had told me to "wear purple" on a certain day I would have absolutely booted the idea not wanting to conform and seem to"school spirity." 5  years ago the color purple was for me only associated with my Alma Mater's school colors of purple and white.

Today is a different day. Today I am proudly wearing a purple floral dress in an effort to support the fight against Alzheimer's. Today is Alzheimer's Action Day.

Alzheimer's is the indentity theft of the 20th century. It is effecting as many as 5.1 million Americans today and estimated to effect 88.5 million in the next couple of decades.

I used to think that Alzheimer's was the worst disease in the world to get. There is no pain partiucuarly associated with it exept that it ripps everything you know about who you are and what you are and where you are away from  you. It takes away relationships you have and tasks you can do for yourself.

My fight against Alzheimer's is just getting started but I am joining millions of people who are advocates for this amazing cause.

In honor of my 52 year old mom who has been diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's I am joining the fight!

In all of our moving chaos we missed the walks in Abilene and Amarillo so Saturday October 22nd we are going to Lubbock to join the Alzheimer's walk. Our team name is Miles for Molly!
